Just for the record I solved this:
- Opened 'Turn Windows Features on or off' in Control Panel.
- Enabled SMB 1.0/CIFS File sharing support
- Rebooted
- All shares on NAS can now be mapped.
Cannot 'Map Drive' to share on NAS after Windows 10 update

I use 'map drive' on Windows 10 to access various shares on my Synology NAS.
On the desktop which uses Windows 10 Pro (the other 2 devices use Home) I have just had to clean install Windows 10 to version 1903.
I now find that Windows on the desktop now refuses to let me connect to any shares on the NAS because these shares use an 'outdated and unsafe protocol' - SMB1. It tells me I need SMB2 or higher (I know nothing of this level of function).
Is there a way of forcing use of SMB1 or would downgrading to Windows 10 Home on the desktop enable me to use drive mapping? (This is a home network and Pro isn't really necessary).
Thanks.
