Windows 10: Windows 10 and Samba - Raspberry Pi 3

I know everyone in this forum is probably sick of this scenario but I would still like the input if you have it. I have searched the forum and I see that this is a common problem which is more often than not blamed on Samba. Could be but ...
I am using a Toshiba S75-A laptop (older I know) but my problems vary depending on the day of the week.

Connecting to a Raspberry Pi 3 set up as an NAS with 2 portable drives connected. When the 2 drives are mapped it will only take a day or two before one of the drives becomes inaccessible and I get an error message telling me (paraphrasing) that I cannot connect to 2 drives using different credentials or something to that effect. Disconnect the drive and never find it on the network again or get the repeated error previously stated. If I disconnect both drives I am usually SOL for days as Windows 10 tells me I am using the wrong user/password combination. We all have good days and bad days but what's the problem? Nothing changes between the days it works and the days it stops.

Solutions?

Thank you for taking the time to read my post!

Trouble seeing Raspberry Pi in Networks

I have a Raspberry Pi that is running samba to share with the Windows network. In Run, I enter \\Raspi and it comes right up with the appropriate shares. That means the samba shares are actually there, yet when I open Networks, all my computers are there except the Raspi.

To try to fix this:

1. I rebooted both the Pi and my PC
2. I double checked the samba configuration and checked it with testparm
3. I made certain the samba and pi passwords are the same
4. I found a list of PC services that need to be running and set them all to automatic

Again, all my PC's and some devices like my Roku and printer are visible, just not the Pi.

Suggestions?

 

windows 10 ARM ISO image for raspberry pi 3

I am trying to get a build for windows 10 ARM for raspberry pi 3.

From UUP dump I got the build for the following disc image file:

17134.1550.200602-1741.RS4_RELEASE_SVC_PROD1_CLIENTPRO_OEMRET_A64FRE_EN-US

The WOA deployer for raspberry pi wants a .WIM windows image. Can you offer pointers on why I am unable to build a .WIM image?

Thanks,

Priya
