The thread you linked, has the definitive answer with chewitt diagnosing and blueribb offering the best solution. Unfortunately, I'm not using windows 10 atm and a step by step guide from me wouldn't work, but in the thread are people eager to offer a helping hand, stick with it and eventually you'll be gold and knowlegable. I'll put this issue down to a MS windows 10 incongruity and a failure to communicate with it's users.

I've done everything chewitt has said and it's either done nothing or made things worse. Blueribb has been far better but still no real progress.

I'm trying a different group because everything suggested at the LE forums demonstrably didn't work. I made it very clear that I didn't know a lot about how all this works and yet all too often the reply was to the effect of "go and learn how to do it". I was hoping that this forum was not also the type that thinks it's cool to ignore the newcomers.
So again, if anyone is willing to help it would be greatly appreciated indeed. It was working perfectly up until recently, I can't be the only one that this has happened to, so there must be solutions that have been applied here. That's all I'm asking; how this problem was solved. It's not too much to ask.

I'll say it again - I can't be the only one that this has happened to. I did everything that was suggested and it didn't work. I'm trying this forum now so that other people might try to help. So far that's been a big fat zero. Either help or stay out of the thread please.

Thanks - But I've done a complete fresh install. Just sorting through that now.

It seems another thing that happens when windows 10 updates to newer versions is that it automatically reactivates the "activate password protected shares" or whatever it's called in Advanced Sharing Settings.. Has happened every big windows update, so I need to go and disable it again, as I don't want or need password protected shares. So for people getting the password promt when trying connecting should check that, if they are using non password protected shares like me. Another thing that happens with new windowsd 10 updates is that it can disable old SMB versions and may need to be activated again through control panel, add remove programs, add windows functions. And make sure your network is marked as "private".. I didn't read the other thread, so sorry if this has all been suggested. :p
