Last week, Martijn Tonies found this blog, which helped some people with this problem: "" Could this be related to: https://blog.mertech.com/windows-10-version-1803-breaks-some-shared-folder-applications "This means that applications started from these environments can’t open a connection to a database server." "" >From the forensics (sketchy as they are!) it appears that, if your network was using Homegroup for file sharing, then SMB would have been already disabled *before* the update. The Fall Creators' Update has removed Homegroup file sharing from Win 10 completely: https://www.howtogeek.com/fyi/microsoft-just-removed-homegroups-from-windows-10/ If your network is relying on a Homegroup for sharing files, there is nothing you can do to fix this, as it is gone forever. Meanwhile, of course, your Win 10 clients are left without file sharing until SMB is (re-)enabled. Go to Control Panel Programs and Features Turn Windows features On or Off and check on 'SMB 1.0/CIFS file sharing support'. How Microsoft lights up our lives! HB
