    Hi Bill,

    By default, the Server Message Block is enabled in Windows 10 devices. However, if SMB is disabled, running commands in PowerShell can enable it. For us to provide an effective solution, we would need you to answer the following questions:

    • Which build and edition of Windows 10 is installed on your device?
    • Are you using a Windows Server?
    • Is the device connected to a domain network?

    In the meantime, you can check this link. It serves as a guide on how to detect, enable and disable SMBv1, SMBv2, and SMBv3 in Windows and Windows Server.

    We'll be waiting for your reply.

    Windows home 10

    version 1709

    os build 16299.309

    I use a netgear ReadyNAS Duo as a server. 

    It is used as part of a home group and for no other purpose.

    It is not installed as part of a domain network.

    I have looked at the information at the link provided. I do not have the experience nor expertise to understand it.

    note:

    In the windows features settings, I can find SMB 1.0  (CFIS) but no mention of SMB 2 or 3.

    The last windows update ran this morning.

    Thanks

    Bill
