How to fix your NAS if Windows 10 or 11 broke its functionality

 Network-attached storage is great until it isn’t. When access to your files suddenly goes down, the fixes sometimes can be time-consuming, especially when related to a failed disk.

Fortunately, that’s not necessarily the case if you’ve just moved from Windows 8.1 (or older) to a newer version of Windows. If you’re encountering an error when trying to access your NAS over your home network, a file-sharing protocol issue is likely the problem. Some older NAS units use Server Message Block v1.0 as their network file sharing protocol—but Microsoft eventually disabled it by default for security reasons in Windows 10. The policy also carried over to Windows 11.

You can get around this incompatibility in a few ways, depending on your NAS’ manufacturer. The most ideal option is applying a software update that enables support for SMB v2 or higher, but not all vendors added this support. If that’s the case, you can try enabling NFS, an alternative protocol, in both your NAS’ management interface and in Windows.

If neither of these solutions work, as a last-ditch option, you can turn SMB v1 support back on—but you’ll also introduce your PC to notable security risks. (You can read more about them in this clear and impassioned explanation of those risks from a Microsoft employee.) SMB v1 is old and weak enough against threats in Windows 11, Microsoft is in the process of removing the support all together. If you really want SMB v1, you’ll have to seek out and install the files manually.

Should you find yourself in a position where only SMB v1 will work and are a security-minded person, unfortunately, your best solution is going to be upgrading your NAS and investing time into that data migration. But hopefully you’re not in this boat and can instead focus your energy on nifty things you can do in your new version of Windows.

Windows features that will blow your mind

Even if you’ve been using Windows for decades, it’s so sprawling and complex that there might be truly helpful, yet more obscure features that can still surprise you. We’ve tracked down ten little-known Windows features that might just improve your efficiency, your comfort, or possibly even your fun while using your PC.

All of them should work on both Windows 10 and 11 alike, and each only takes a few seconds to try out. Here we go, in no particular order: 

Mouse hover window activation

Whenever I use a new PC, this is the very first feature I enable. Technically it’s part of the accessibility tools, but many users might find it useful no matter what their level of mobility. This setting allows you to activate a window simply by moving your mouse cursor over it, instead of requiring an extra click before interacting with the program. It’s a tiny change, but one that makes a huge difference, especially on a laptop trackpad.

To change this setting, go to Control Panel, then click the Ease of Access Center. Click “Make the mouse easier to use.” Under “Make it easier to manage windows,” select “Activate a window by hovering over it with the mouse.” Click Okay to enable the setting.

Easy window arrangement 

With newer versions of Windows, it’s easy to move windows (sorry) around your screen. Hold down the Windows key on your keyboard, then press the arrow keys. Pressing left or right will instantly move the window to the corresponding half of the screen. Pressing up or down will alternate between halving the window in the upper or lower portion of the screen, maximizing it, or minimizing it to the toolbar.

These shortcuts even work across multiple monitors. It’s a great way to quickly arrange your windows across screens and monitors with minimal effort. 

Quick taskbar launching 

If you want to quickly manage windows, you probably pin your most-used programs and tools to the taskbar. If you want to get at them even faster, simply hold down the Windows button and press the number on your keyboard that corresponds to their spot on the taskbar. On mine, opening Chrome is Win + 1, opening Photoshop is Win + 5, et cetera.

Rearrange your system tray

Speaking of the taskbar, the system tray (the little mini-icons on the right side) can often get crowded if you’re using a lot of software. That’s doubly true if you run a lot of programs at startup. But if it’s cluttered, you don’t have to keep it that way. Click and drag any of the icons around to re-arrange them. You can put them in the drop-down menu to hide them (just click the arrow to show them again), or set them to the right to make them permanently visible.
