Windows 10: Network Shares not seen with MS account

Discus and support Network Shares not seen with MS account in Windows 10 Network and Sharing to solve the problem; The 'hack', as you call it, does nothing but make file sharing work as intended and can hardly be controversial considering only one of my comps has it...

    Network Shares not seen with MS account


    It doesn't "do nothing but make file sharing work". It is a key that is responsible for controlling which version of networking is used. If it was set to 0, then that disabled SMB2. This was often necessary for various NAS's because they used older versions of SMB/CIFS that required older protocols to work. Modern NAS's don't have that problem.

    What i'm saying, is you have to know what you're doing when you do stuff like this. And know what the effects are besides the obvious one you're trying to solve. In this case, it appears that if the key is not present, it enables SMB2 by default. The same effect would be achieved by setting the value to rather than deleting the key.

    That doesn't explain Jimbo's problems, as he has claimed numerous times he's done clean installs...

    Hi there

    I think the SMB stuff came about because I was using SAMBA as well in the mix --- flushing everything out fixed the whole kybosh.

    I don't have ANY problems either now with an XP Machine (VM) also being able to share with W10 (including the Storage spaces on W10).

    Latest version of SAMBA on Linux server seems to be OK too. I'm sure that using various OS'es including W2003 server, W012 server, W8, W8.1 and various Linux distros probably hosed the whole thing up.

    Anyway Build 10240 all working and accessible by the rest of the network.

    As for "You have to know what you are doing" doesn't really apply if you are simply TESTING or LEARNING stuff --another reason for ALWAYS HAVING BACKUPS so you can restore if something goes wrong or you don't like the result of your change(s).

    Sometimes in order to Learn you have to find out by "seeing what this does" -- sometimes it will work sometimes it will break something. I believe it's called "Experimenting". You can't always predict in advance what something will do whether it's a PHYSICS / CHEMISTRY / ENGINEERING or even a COMPUTING experiment.

    Cheers

    I agree with your latter sentiments, jimbo. Anyway, I am no novice as I have been doing this stuff for 40 years!

    Why would I need to worry trying this out when I have four computers with no SMB entry as a guide, an exported reg key, and full and regular imaging to fall back on? It wasn't working and no one I could find knew what was wrong. The worst that could have happened was my networking could foul up. Oh, I forgot, it already was fouled up.

    Anyway, trying to find the problem had me doing lots of far more risky things!

    Please don't anyone tell me about the registry bogey man. I just don't need the patronising.

    Thank you. I looked and found you left out System:

    S/B HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameter

    No SMB anything for me there.

    Sincere apologies for the omission. Very careless of me.

    Yes, the SMB omission is the norm from my small sample.

    Cheers,

    Lindsay.
