    SMB1 disabled; No longer have access to mapped network shares via File Explorer

    As per Microsoft suggestion I disabled the SMB1 protocol to stave off Wcry type attacks. At the same time I made sure SMB2 protocol was enabled. Now, i can no longer access mapped network shares using File Explorer. To verify the situation I turned SMB1
    back on and was again able to use File Explorer successfully. The network drive is operating properly; I checked using the browser admin features over IP. At present SMB1 is still off and SMB2 is on.

    What must I do short of re-enabling SMB1 to allow File Explorer to access the network drive?

    M.B.

    Config; Windows 10 Pro - latest, Synology DSM - latest

    Smb1 to smb2

    SMB2 should be available as a default, however the drive will not appear in the network section. If your network drive is SMB2 capable, then it would be seen. Windows as of 1803 (I believe), turned off SMB1 by default. You can turn it back on by adding it to the windows features. If you search for "Features", you should see a "Windows Features" entry. Select it and you will be presented with a list of features that you can "Enable or Disable". Scroll down and find the SMB1 entry, and select. You will have to reboot your system and your network device will then appear in Windows Explorer network attachments. But since SMB1 has known security issues, I recommend you to mount your NAS as a network drive.

    You can do that via Explorer ("Mount Network Drive") and assign it a drive letter. The first time it will ask you for a password (The original one that you assigned to your NAS) and will remember it and every time you re-boot your system, it will re-mount it.

    PS: fill out your system specifications on this forum (Hardware, Windows Version, etc.), which will help everybody here understand your system needs.

    Enjoy.
