Problem : Multiple Windows 10 machines can connect to the Synology shared folders, but one machine wouldn't.
I had 1 machine that couldn't connect to my Sunology NAS shared folders.
Under Windows File Explorer, then checking on "Network", I could see the synology but I couldn't connect to it.
I went down the following rabbit hole trying to find a solution
- synology diskstation is not accessible you might not have permission "the network is not present or not started"
- windows 10 unable to turn on file and printer sharing
- windows 10 workstation error 1075
- windows 10 cannot connect to network drive
- Cannot start the Computer Browser and Workstation services
This takes you down a bad google rabbit hole, with solutions on registry edit, downloading 3rd party tools, re-installing network drivers etc.. Heck some website "experts" just tell you to re-install windows.
Several hours later, you want to pull out your hair.
At the end of the day the solution is to do with SMB, and I didn't have the feature installed.
Solution :
To enable SMB2 on Windows 10, you need to press the Windows Key + S and start typing and click on Turn Windows features on or off. You can also search the same phrase in Start, Settings.
Now scroll down till you see :
[ ] SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support
[ ] SMB Direct
Select those two options, let windows install the files, and then reboot.
Thanks to : Your System Requires SMB2 or Higher Error on Windows 10
