Windows 10: Save-as errors on NAS drive - files duplicated

Windows 10 Pro system with Word 365, and files saved on NAS drive. “User” folders have also been “moved” so they point to the NAS device. On the host system the NAS device has been mapped as the Z drive. In other words when opening “My Docs” it looks at the folder/files stored on the NAS. These folders are also defined as shared so that another system has rights to read/write to the same folders.



When a document is “Saved As”, currently the document is saved as it should be with a new name where it should be saved. It also creates duplicate entries in a folder called “#recycle” (if it doesn't exist it creates this folder), one file with the same saved-as name, and another temp file given a random alpha/numeric name. Both entries in the #recycle subfolder are “blank”. It also creates the wrong link in the Word “recent docs” list pointing to the item in the #recycle folder.



Another PC using Windows 7 + Office 2007, can access these shared folders, however the “save-as” function creates the same problem.



There are no issues with the standard “save” function.



Other info; I7 system with 6 GB ram with Raid 1- 2 x 1GB NAS. NAS Synology ds216j 6.1. Using McAfee AV.



Networking/Word/Windows issue? Any suggestions?

RPC error: cannot connect to NAS drive

Since upgrading from Win7(64) to Win10(64), I have been unable to connect to my NAS drive (\\NET_DRIVE). While I can see the drive in windows for mapping a drive, File Explorer and Network Sharing, when I try to map the drive, I get the following error:
\\NET_DRIVE is not accessible.... A remote procedure call (RPC) protocol error occurred.

• The NAS drive is connected to my WiFi router, not to a remote computer.
• The user profile I'm using has administrative rights
• This problem did not occur when running Windows 7. It started when I upgraded to Windows 10

How can I fix this so I can access my NAS drive?

 

Saves log files ?

You can either read the files in Windows or my preferred method is.....

Download CCcleaner from here...........

CCleaner Professional | Try the world’s most trusted PC cleaner, free!

You can then run cleaner, you will see the log files listed, then if you right click you can save as a text file and then have a read. You may also get an "error reporting" log listed seperatly.
