FML spent like two hours trying to figure out why a newly reinstalled machine refused to connect to file sharing on my Pi across the network. Turns out windows disables samba (SMBv1) by default. Going into network and internet settings, hitting "sharing options" and enabling "turn on network discovery" and "turn on file and printer sharing" does nothing.

To fix:
Go to Settings
Apps -> Apps and Features
Programs and Features
Turn Windows Features on or off
Check the box for SMB1.0
Hit OK
Restart


Or you can use the PowerShell as admin
Code: 
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName SMB1Protocol
Set-SmbServerConfiguration –EnableSMB2Protocol $true

wtf microsoft????
 
Found this the day after 1803 hit. Lucky I checked on my test box before I approved it on WSUS.

We have old CNC routers that's 1 to 2 million a pop, so not gonna change them in a hurry.

Windows 10 -> Windows 98/95 will also fail because of this, even worse They killed Homegroup same time.

At least my OS doesn't regularly need patching because of ransomware or malware. Nor is it slow like lard and full of bloat. And my OS runs on many embedded toys too, yours doesn't.

Yes I know your god rocks. By the way seeing that its your OS, how many kernel lines of code do you have? I know personally I have an entire module in the kernel?

It's a good thing - it's disabling modules that are insecure. It can always be enabled if needed, albeit with an accompanying risk.
