Windows Update lost network share

[BeeP]

Hiya,

This morning my work PC had some updates to do so I rebooted and let it do its thing, all seemed ok until I tried to access and old CNC machine we have to dump a .nc file into it, apparently I can't access the network share anymore.

I can ping the machines name and IP address, I can access it from a PC which hasn't yet put on the update but just not from any that have this update.

The update is - (KB5065426) (26100.6584) I followed some online guides on group policy but so far nothing works other than simply using another pc to transfer the files over, not very convenient.

Any help is welcomed.
Cheers,
Brad/BeeP

Fixed....ish.

I uninstalled the update, not an elegant solution but it's working.

Cheers.

Probably SMB1 related

Had a similar problem a bit back, remove the share/mapped drive for anything to do with this machine, run control userpasswords2 and remove any information relating to this machine from the stored account.

Restart the computer, either do \\computer name or \\ip to see if you can connect to the machine, it may ask for username and password even if password protected sharing is off, create an account and password on the machine you are trying to access hopefully this will allow you to connect.

From googling, it sounds like a security policy on the new updates that does not like you to share files with no security over your network.

Even if you turn windows updates off, it will get to a point when the machine will just download the update anyway and give you the option of "update and shutdown" or "update and restart" basically forcing you to install it
