A specific windows update is causing all network drives to become hidden/lost from laptop - Both Win 10 and Win 7.
I am trying to find which Windows Update that causes my local WORKGROUP network unavailable from the laptops for Win 7 and Win 10. I can connect to the internet wired and w/ wifi. Just can't see or connect to my network anymore.
All of the previously mapped devises and hard drives are gone and rebooting, resetting both laptops and modems, reinstalling drivers etc does not work.
The other devices on the network can see and some can connect to the laptops...One device says "connection refused".
This has occurred after letting Windows update to latest on both my Win 7 and Win 10 laptops.
I was able to rollback one of the Windows 10 updates (the one that completely changes the right mouse click over start button menu items and does not want u to use the old control panel for some reason) by stumbling upon a setting that asks if this version
of Win 10 is causing apps not to work etc and allows you to revert to last version...
I am assuming the same is happening w/ Win 7 but am unable to go to previous restore point and would like to just uninstall the specific update that is causing the same issue on Win 7 laptops.
Also, does Win 10 not let u pick and choose which updates to install like Win 7 updater?
And where can I find what version/release # of Win 10 ?
I have stopped Win 10 from updating due to this issue. See link:
