Windows 10: problems with Synology NAS on Windows 10 1809

Below are my impressions on version 1809 on two different machines.


Yesterday I upgraded to ver.1809 build 17763.292 and installed all updates. All seems to work well except for the connection with my Synology NAS. The disk station is has the latest update and is connected to the same network.


1. Edge browser dismisses an http command to connect to the disk station, while IE and Firefox work as expected.

2. Windows explorer cannot find the name \\diskstation in the network, while there is no any problem on Windows 10 ver 1803 and Windows 8.1.


A month ago I updated another computer to ver.1809 and I reverted back to 1803 because Intel graphics settings would not work, as well as the free version of SoftPerfect RAM disk ver. 3.4.8.


I want to keep the new version 1809, but how can I solve the connection with the NAS?

Problems connecting to Synology NAS in Windows 10

Hi

I've recently purchased a new laptop running Windows 10 Home (v1703) and am having problems connecting to my Synology NAS. I can access the NAS drive through web browsers with the IP address, and it's showing in "Network" in Explorer. However, whenever
I try to access it through Explorer (e.g. to map one of my shared folders) I get the following error message:

"Windows cannot access \\LONGDISKSTATION

Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network. To try to identify and resolve network problems, click Diagnose.

Error code: 0x80070035

The network path was not found."

So far as I can tell, there's not a problem with the drive as I can access it through web browsers and can access it on other devices - e.g. non-Windows 10 PCs, iPhone / iPad and my Sonos system. Having said that, when I run Synology Assistant on my laptop,
it doesn't seem to be able to find the NAS drive, even though it's clearly there and apparently can be seen by Windows.

I've tried the basics, such as disabling my firewall and anti-virus, but that doesn't make any difference.

I've had a look at some of the Google threads on this but - honestly - I'm a novice it when it comes to these things and I'm not sure I'm looking in the right place.

If anyone can offer an solutions - in plain English that a layman can follow! - that would be appreciated.

Thanks

Windows 10 File Explorer cannot access Synology NAS

I am using a HP laptop with Windows 10 Home and suddenly over the last several days a Synology NAS cannot be accessed from the laptop.

More information:

The version of Windows 10 Home - 1803

I have two other PC in the house and both can access the Synology NAS

I also have several Android tablets - they can access the NAS

On the laptop (with the issue) I also have a Synology management software product - It CAN access the NAS and open files

I originally mapped the NAS several months ago on the laptop and the mapped drives worked as expected until yesterday,

Yesterday I started getting messages saying "… the network path was not found." every time I tried to access/map the NAS

After several reboots of the laptop (yesterday) I was finally able to map the NAS, but only by typing in "\\ (NAS Name) \" before I started the mapping process.

This morning the same mapping (that worked yesterday evening) is not working and giving the same error message I saw yesterday morning.

Just to recap

Running laptop - windows 10 Home (1803)

Mapped NAS drives worked fine until yesterday

Synology management software on same PC can access the NAS and open files

Several other PCs can open files

I was able to re-establish connections yesterday by specifying the NAS name when I restarted the mapping

Today the mapping does not work (again).

 

Getting access to my data on Synology NAS


Hi, I have a problem with my Synology DS211j – please any help would be appreciated:
I bought the Synology NAS about a year ago but after setting-up the NAS I had a stroke :-(.
I am now trying to re-lean my NASs but am struggling with my Synology:
I can see the NAS has two disk – a 1Gb disk “Not installed”, and a 2Gb disk “Installed”. As I think I should have some important data, I need to work out what I have on the 2Gb disk or possible even on the 1 Gb disk?
So the 2Gb disk says it is installed but I don’t know how to get to the data from the disk (and I’m trying to be careful so that I don’t lose the data)?
ny advise on the steps on get ting access to the date would be really appreciated!
