Insider Preview Build 16226 for PC introduces changes to the SMB1 networking protocol
Hello Insiders!
Build 16226 is chock full of goodness with some very cool improvements for IT PROs!
Windows 10 and SMB1: As part of a multi-year security plan, we are removing the SMB1 ne...
Michelle when the update is pushed for all versions of Windows, they need to keep the Computer Browser Service in Services and have it changed to Automatic (Triggered). Otherwise your only way of connecting to other devices like storage, workstation shares for Samba in Linux, Mac OS, etc.. The other is that a reminder needs to be put in that Windows will alert users that if say a NAS is set as SMB Master Browser, Windows will error out, because by nature it always believes that it is the Master of the Domain/Workgroup.
When you uncheck SMBv1 from Windows Features, it removes the Computer Browser Service, thus causing people into thinking that reinstalling the network adapter, repair of Windows or total clean install of Windows fixes the issue when they go back in and disable SMBv1 as instructed.
It has taken me three weeks to find out the answer on a post on the Spiceworks forum, for disabling SMBv1 with the sc.exe command, to update the registry.
Home users are also getting a lot of mixed information through sites like Ten Forums .com, due to no one has actually looked and found out how to get around the whole smbv1 mess.

Thank you Greg for this information.
- I left out the important part about when Computer Browser is removed. You can only go to say your NAS by using the IP as \\192.168.1.12\ for example.
Windows is alone in this Linux has a bad habit of also screwing up Samba when updates for security are pushed out, causing it to do the same thing.
