Win10 20H2 fixes the issue.

Previously when 2004 broke smb1, I rolled back.

There was no registry change or any other modification made to the system.  After Win10 20H2 upgrade was installed via Windows Updates;  SMB1 worked as it did before the upgrade.

Thank you Microsoft.

    if you had read a few posts before, you would have seen that this tip has been given already. I don't really understand why people still have the problem.

    I think I finally found the fix.  Others online are talking about a registry entry called "ProviderFlags".  Go to HKCU\Network.  Find the drive letter you are having issues mapping.  Add a 32-bit Dword key called "ProviderFlags" and set the value to 1.  Reboot and the issue should go away and start working as normal.

    I have not been able to find an answer as to why this fixes it, but is seems to fix the issue on an individual user account.

    20H2 is cosmetic and does not fix the NAS access issues.

    The only solution to enable affected NAS is to bin W10 and go back to W7.

    My exchanges with Netgear convince me that they regard the gaging of older NAS as a wonderful marketing opportunity to force NAS users to junk perfectly useable equipment and replace with new items. No doubt in time such replacements will be afflicted with similar gaging restrictions.
