Can no longer access WD MyBookLive through "This PC" on Windows 10.

The errors trying to access the MyBookLive through file explorer  "\\MyBookLive\"  are the same as in this article posted below, but the discussed solutions do not work for me.  I also tried changing the network encryption from 128 bit to lower.

Article is here:

I also found that if I directly address a folder under "This PC" (for example: \\MyBookLive\Public) I am asked for my user name and password even though the folder is a public folder.  (I was only able to do this after the changes I made).  And I still get the error trying to mount ISO files or copy large files.

Western Digital responded to my support request.

They verified the info about the changes to Windows 10.

They suggested that each folder be mapped to a drive letter under the Network Browser (Not under "This PC").

The instructions can be found here:

So far this has solved the ISO mounting issue.

Also, enabling the Network Browse feature for SMB 1 instructions are here:

Network connectivity is not my wheelhouse, I'm a shell geek, but I had a similar issue with a drive connected to my router. I would map it, it would seem to function, but then weirdness.

Long story short, what fixed it was adding the default router login info as a Windows credential :

Since then, everything's been fine.

I will have to try this... Although Western Digital's solution worked for my desktop, it does not work for my laptop.

I get this every time I try to access the MyBookLive:

When I hit diagnose it says "unknown error"

I found a solution...
