Beginners • Can't access Pi5 on Win10

Hi all,

I'm running a Pi5 as Plex Server since 1 year. During latest update, the system did not boot anymore. Of course I had no backup, so I had to set up all again from scratch. No problem so far, Plex is running, accessable and mostly all is running as before except that I can't implement the Pi5 into my Win10 to copy and delete media files. I'm now trying since 3 days without success, before it worked very well.

I've checked that SMB is running on Pi5, user is set, shares have been set, too. If I access \\raspberrypi5\ in Win Explorer, it says folder is empty, if I add any shared folder, I get that the device cannot be connected or that I don't have sufficient rights. Up to now I have not been asked to enter user and pw for Pi5. In the Windows Log On Settings, I have deleted already the old Pi5 entries.

To keep the server running it is essential that I can manage files via Win and I hope somebody can help me as I have no further ideas.

Thanks in advance and Brgds

Stephan
