12-12-16 windows update requires usserid & password to access my nas which has none.
this morning, windows 10 did a massive update finishing with the ominous words "improved security" or some such nonsense.
i can no longer access my nas via any software EXCEPT windows file explorer.
among other things, my accounting files reside on this nas (which it has no userid nor password). if i try to access it with the desktop shortcut i have had for years, windows tells me "the file could not be found". when i use the browse function to find it, i get the following message (which i'll post a link:" http://s1063.photobucket.com/user/Ta...ml?sort=9&o=49. entering blanks does not let me get through.
i googled this and could find nothing recent. i did un-map and re-map the nas per a post a year ago, but that changed nothing.
i also tried running a backup of my pc (i use syncback and have for years) TO the nas in question and i get a "network failure" error trying to access the nas.
i DO have a copy of the accounting datafile on my C drive and that version i can open with no qualms from windows.
i'm stumped. anyone have any suggestions?
thanks in advance,
terry
