Windows 10: Slow LAN access to shared folders w7 > w10

Hello.

I have an older PC (Phenom 1, crappy nForce chipset) that was running slow under Win7. I have installed Win10 from scratch (x64) and it's running better but when trying to access some shared folders with another Win10 computer, it takes a long time and it usually throws out a timeout. After retrying several times, you can at last enter those folders but it's pretty annoying. The same behaviour happened to me when I tried Win8.1. It only works ok under Win7, but I want to keep Win10 because it's running smoother. By the way the nVidia Ethernet driver is the one provided by Windows Update. I think nVidia dropped support for the nForce 4.x chipset for Win8.x onwards.

Any ideas?

W10 Network Drive Access

Jan 2016, no body at my company will use Windows 10 because of extremely slow network access.

Environment is gigabit Ethernet LAN with 25 Windows Desktop Computers and one server running 2008 R2. Server manages two network drives: one with about 1 TB of data in 100.000 folders/files. Desktops map both network drives for quick access.

Any desktop that upgrades to W10 experiences the slow access.

Noticed that normal speed access is restored by disabling UAC

If my only options are: secure system with slow data access OR less secure system with normal speed access or W7, I have no choice but to pick W7.

Does Microsoft have any plans to address?

 

ACCESS NOT ALLOWED TO A W10 DESKTOP FROM A W7 IN THE SAME WORKGROUP

Hi,

I've brought a new computer running under W10 to add to my LAN where the others are running under W7.

So I can see folders and files of computers running W7 from my new W10 computer, BUT I CAN'T ENTER INTO THE ROOT FOLDER OF MY COMPUTER RUNNING UNDER W10 from W7 runed computers.

Could anyone help me?
