I don't know if this has already been posted here on FR (I couldn't find it), but I wondered if any other of you have had the same problem.

To say I'm angry is an understatement, I'm livid. This wouldn't be a problem for me if I wasn't concerned in getting the ESUs until next year, because to do so my PC had to be fully updated, and as a result I hit with this problem. The only way I can now share files between my PCs is to load them on an external storage device.

I've tried all of the fixes mentioned in this article and many others, but nothing works. Even networked printers have been taken offline because of it.

Please share your experiences and fixes if you have any. Thanks for your time.

Glad I’ve upgraded to Windows 7.

SMBv1 has been deprecated for decades. We’re up to SMBv3.1.1. The security issues with SMBv1 are terrible. This has been a long time coming. If you’re having issues with SMBv1, you’re using very old hardware. EXCEPTIONALLY old.

I can tell you that SMBv1 is so lacking in security that threat actors actively seek it out. It’s trivially easy to compromise. I’d advise migrating your data to more modern storage lest you become the next victim.

Nobody should be using SMBv1.

Beloved Micro-bleeping-soft updated my bride's computer into a complete mess.

I took all down, used the HD as a data disk, installed Windows 10 on a new HD with no updates allowed, recovered all her data and all is well for the cost of a little time and a new HD. And no new software et alia.

Microsoft as an OS isn't so bad, per se. Microsoft as a company sucks, thinking they can constantly tinker and never screw up.

Server Message Block version 1 and the others as well can simply be disabled. You won;t find that info in the headlines, though. The article didn't, but some informed comments at the bottom did.

I always pause the automatic updates on my Win 10 machine. That postpones them for a few weeks.

With any luck they’ll have the bugs fixed by then.

Windows sucks. Why isn’t there a reasonable plug-an-play alternative? Tell me now that capitalism works! All we did with Windows is made the monster Gates filthy rich.
