I have a Windows Server 2003 machine (I know, but it’s out of my control) with a bunch of network shares on it. I have a laptop that has just been rebuilt with Windows 10 2004. I’ve enabled CIFS/SMB1 in the Windows Features dialogue and I can browse to the network shares OK using the UNC in File Explorer and via the Run prompt.
However, as soon as I map one of these shares as a network drive File Explorer fails to connect. If I click on one of the drives it just seems to hang Explorer and eventually times out (if I don’t force restart Explorer before that). Prior to the rebuild the laptop connected to the mapped drives fine even after being upgraded to Windows 10 2004, as do other laptops.
What am I missing that allows other laptops to connect to these drives? Are there any other settings that I should be using to resolve this?
