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.
As of now I have not come to a solution which would fix my SMBv1 drives
The drives are mounting sucesfully however after restart they are not accessible and while I am trying to access them from another explorer window using IP or Name it says the resource is already mounted under different credentials.
I was desperatelly looking for a solution quite a while. Recently I decided to fix it with workaround - something in the Windows 10 is corrupted what relates to SMBv1.
So I have wrote and application which does the mounting instead of Windows. I call it NAS Mounter - available here
Feel free to downlaod and use. In case of any question do not hesitate to drop me a note.
Step by Step:
2) Start the NAS Mounter from Windows Start Menu
Hope this helps !
Any help is appreciated
SMB1 mapped drive issue solved.
[...]
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Network\p]
"ProviderFlags"=dword:00000001
Note: In the above registry entry "P" is the drive letter I use.
I think this helped me: after entering registry setting as above everything works well even only one mapped share has this modification.
Got all of the settings you suggest and still no joy.
Thanks so much! After a recent update to Windows 10, the supposed last version and best OS ever (actually a steaming pile of ****, reminds me of windows 98), my trusty WD TV Live Hub mapped drive would no longer connect. I could remap it and it would work until I restarted, then it was gone again. I would get the message "the local device name is already in use. This connection has not been restored".
Adding that registry key to the drive name fixed it. I am forever grateful.
As for MS, I am betting at some point in the not-too-distant future they will realize they cannot continue down this path and start over, again - at least I hope they will. Otherwise I will be forced to move to another OS, or build my own.
