Since I updated to Windows 10 build 2004 it seems like my old Western Digital 3TB Live NAS drive keeps asking me for a security credentials to log in every time I start up Windows in order to access the drive.
In order to remove this prompt, I have disabled Windows security credentials, turned off password protected sharing in the Network Center, and enabled SMB 1 in Windows Program settings. Enabling SMB1 requires a restart, and then I am able to access my Network Drive.
However once I restart again, or cold boot, even with SMB 1 enabled in Windows Program settings, it asks me for login credentials to access the NAS. I have to disable SMB1, restart, then enable SMB1, restart again, in order to access my NAS drive. What's even weirder is there's a Twonky folder that is automatically mapped where I can access only the Videos, Photos, and Music folders on the drive that doesn't require any password at all. But I can't access any of the folders from a custom mapped network drive or folder without a password, and "anonymous" doesn't work.
Is there a better way of doing this or does this sound like a bug? Or did Microsoft just obsolete my old SMB1 NAS and is telling me to buy a new drive?
