Yes, the usernames and passwords are consistent across the whole network.

OK, that lead didn't pan out: the problem has mysteriously disappeared on two of the Win10/KIS hosts, but not on the third, and disabling ALL features in KIS didn't cure it on the third. Here is...

OK, I've made some headway here. All my Windows machines run Kaspersky, and the first remedy I tried was turning off the Kaspersky firewall. That produced nothing, so I eliminated Kaspersky from...

OK, both your last 2 posts implemented, and smb.conf attached...no change in behavior.

OK, I've commented out the host lines. Full permissions are present in the shares, and the user is the same in both machines. Bear in mind this system was working perfectly until the switch from Win7...

Yes, I've removed 192.168.1.
Abelard, the Fedora host, is 192.168.1.13. Gilgamesh the Win 10 host, is 192.168.1.111.

Yes: no response if I do that in the filename ribbon. If I go to This PC->Add a network location and enter that, I get "The folder you entered does not appear to be valid." If i double-click on host...

I've made numerous changes in trying out the various "solutions" I've found online.
"hosts allow = 127." dates back to when the system was working. "192.168.1." was a recent attempt to enable all...

I'm still working with a problem I've mentioned here before: my Windows boxes have lost connectivity to my Samba box since adopting Win 10. There are dozens of flavors of this problem discussed...

Thanks, Rich. Interesting to note that klwfp.sys as seen in File Manager is five days later than the timestamp you give; perhaps that has something to do with the "Unable to verify timestamp" error....

This system is connected to a Netgear R7000 router and Xfinity TC8305 cable gateway handling my home network. I'm having a series of BSOD's in conjunction with my attempts to configure the OpenVPN...

I ALWAYS get the password box, no matter how I wake up the machine. If I just close the lid, it goes to sleep and opening it wakes the machine and brings up the splash screen; if I put it to sleep...

Re #21:

Opening the lid when asleep always brings up the splash screen, and I can always get to the password box just by sweeping up. No other action is needed when the wakeup is normal, and no...

OK, there are two items under Dev Mgr/Keyboards:

(1) HID Keyboard Device: this has a Power tab with two options. "Allow the computer to turn off this device" -- already unchecked. "Allow this...

No, plain laptop.

That final User Not Present session ended with the wakeup failure. Yes, it went as you describe. If I wait a while it will go back to the splash screen; I advance to the login screen again, and again...

OK, I finally captured a wakeup failure. It occurred at 12:50 PM 12/31/16. Computer was asleep with AC plugged in; as before the wakeup screen appeared with a login textbox with flashing cursor, but...

OK, the MEI driver shows as up to date. So far, I haven't had a wakeup failure since I set "Turn off hard disk" to "never when plugged in", so that may have cleared it; if it does come back, I'll try...

OK, here's a sleep diags file I just took; naturally, now that I'm monitoring, it hasn't had a wakeup failure yet. When I do get one I'll send another diags file.

OK, I'll try a few cycles over the next 24, log operator actions, and run the diag. Thanks for the attention on Christmas!

The laptop is an ASUS X55UA, a bit over a year old, and it frankly hasn't been impressive: besides the login problem, disk transfers are disappointingly slow. I was delivered with Win10 aboard, so I...

OK, I see what you meant about "fast start will be disabled too"...after sitting idle, display on, for a while it shut down and needed a power-button startup. So I went into power options and set...

OK, I turned of hibernation, closed the lid for half an hour, opened it and it woke up OK. I'll try it overnight tonight.

It definitely happens in both circumstances, but I can't say if one is more frequent than the other.

My ASUS/Win10 laptop wakes up from sleep normally about 3 times out of 4...but the rest of the time it gets as far as displaying the password text box, with blinking cursor, and then refuses to...
