B Train

Well dear unRaid community; I solved my problem and it is something no one thought of telling me. It is time for me to swallow my pride, tell everyone of my stupidity an contribute one more fix to the dreaded '0x80070035 error': Solution: Microsoft does not find a drive if it is set as INVISIBLE on your unRaid share. Go to your unRaid setup page, under the share tab look for the setting 'Export' and read the description. Set it up to 'Yes'. Thank you for your guidance, Frank1940, and to the unRaid community across multiple platforms (fb, reddit, youtube) for answering my stubborn and incessant questions. At least I gained quite an understanding of a lot of inner workings for this software. Do not hesitate to PM me to ask for assistance.

After reading this post, which Frank1940 (OP) so kindly provided, I have the following comments: *Ensure to download and read the PDF provided by OP *Consider that I am a regular computer user only, no professional experience using computers. #1 Most important: you will not be able to follow this in Windows 10 Home due to lacking access to 'AllowInnsecureGuestAuth'. #2 I borrowed a Windows 10 Pro computer a few hours ago to be able to edit 'AllowInnsecureGuestAuth'. #3 I have progressed after many hours of exploration from getting the dreaded "0x80070035... Windows cannot access...' to a a screen that requests my credentials for 'root' user, even though I set up the windows credential to be a different user (lets call that user 'BTrain'). #4 Setting up the credentials on the PDF provided by OP is very finicky. You have to use the name of the Unraid Server and shares (in my case 'Tower' and 'TEST' respectively) as such: '//Tower/TEST' but when trying to map the drive only the IP number will work (192.168.x.xxx). This will take you to where I am now stuck: the prompt where a password for 'root' is requested. #5 If I try to enter my password for the root client the program takes me back to another error. #6 If I try to enter my password for the BTrain user, I am sent back to error 0x80070035. Are you guys sure UnRaid is the most beginner friendly NAS? LOL.

Feedback for those who cannot find ' AllowInnsecureGuestAuth': You will only find this setting on Windows 10 Pro. I have no idea how to make it this setting appear or work on Windows 10 Home.

Thanks for responding. I have tried everything on your forum for the last two weeks. I got UnRaid with the impression that it was the most user friendly program for a 'NAS'. Now I am 60hrs deep into this frustrating rabbit hole and I have no idea where I am going. I have read the sticky and followed the instruction on my two PCs and laptop to no avail. I am not a computer savvy guy and I cannot even make heads or tails about what is 'SAMBA', '110580', Windows Versions, Registry edits plus all the unraid management mentioned out there. This product is not even remotely user friendly for those using Windows 10 (is that not like 99% of all computer users in the world?). Do I need to be an advanced IT professional to use this stuff? What is your target demographic even? At this point I am trying to figure out if learning to use Ubuntu might yield better results and try to access the Unraid server from there. Any solutions besides using Windows 10 + Unraid are very welcome. I am honestly tired of trying to make this work. Edit: The thread that you are referring me to literally leads me to a PDF that leads me to the same problem I posted about. After following the PDF I am back to the same problem: I cannot double-click on AllowInsecureGuestAuth because it does not exist. What you are suggesting is 'not trying to turn off SMB security settings'. Does that mean following 'Case 2' or 'Case 3' on pg16 of the paper attached on the thread?

Tried this. Could not find the 'AllowInsecureGuestAuth:
