Windows 10 updates and SMB1 for scan to PC

Good Morning

 

Today we are going to discuss how to fix SMB1 after windows 10 dose a update to your system . As we all know windows is constantly doing updates . Well in a interest to combat the wanna cry virus Microsoft has been pushing out a series of updates to windows . In doing this if you have windows automatic updates turned on windows will update your system were the problem comes in is that after the update you may find that you are no longer able to scan to PC . The reason for this is because windows uses SMB1 to scan to PC . When windows dose the new updates it shuts off in most cases the SMB1 operations and tries to use SMB2 and or 3 .Unfortunately scan to PC dose not work under anything other than SMB1 at the present time . So how do I fix this you may ask ? Good question , the way you handle this situation is by going to windows features and scrolling down until you see SMB in the little pop up window ,click on the plus sign next to SMB and ensure that all the SMB boxes areĀ  checked once you do this close the window and any open programs you may have running and restart your system to make sure the changes have been accepted by the system . Once your system reboots you should be able to scan to PC again as long as there are no further problems with your setup .
