    Re-enabled SMB v1 in Windows 10, but still cannot connect


    So following on from my previous question about SMB, I decided to re-enable SMB v1 on my PC running Windows 10 (this version).

    I followed these instructions (Options 3, 4 and 5, since I am using Windows 10).

    I have tried all three options (proof), and they all appear to have completed successfully. I have also rebooted my PC a few times.

    The problem is, the PC cannot be connected to via SMB from my other devices, be it other PCs or my NVIDIA SHIELD TV.

    I have no idea where to begin troubleshooting this issue, so any help would be appreciated.

    Is your network connection set to private?

    Yes. I have also turned off Windows Defender Firewall to test if it makes a difference, but unfortunately, the issue persists.

    Hey AK47,
    What is the error you're getting when trying to connect to the PC/Share ?
    Can you access the PC/Share by it's IPADDRESS ? (i.e. File Explorer > Address Bar > \\192.168.1.5)

    Double check your settings - Share Files and Folders Over a Network in Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials

    Note: Unless you have legacy devices that require SMBv1, it should not be needed to do file sharing on Win10.
