Question Why Windows loses track of Synology NAS

[AzureMurph]

as was posted many times, for the network discovery in Win OS part of the world you can use useful tool called Advanced IP Scanner (many features), it can show you more than you expect

Liking that, hadn't heard of that one before. Always usually use port scan and stuff. Cheers.

Have updated the script, but no joy as yet.

Did you confirm the script revision was written?

cat daemon.py

Did you toggle WS-Discovery off/on in NAS' Control Panel after saving the script?

When I did that everything popped.

I have no special Win10 settings. SMB2/3 only.

In the past, I disabled SMB1 via PowerShell (enabled SMB2/3). I used this...

I did indeed. Have rebooted the NAS as well just in case.

No biggie, I don't need this functionality anyhow, as I tend to just map network locations or drives.

With the software jeyare mentioned after a scan with that, and an expand/explore the NAS within the software it appears in network within the file explorer navigation pane, but disappears once that window is closed.

I wouldn't spend any more time on it for my sake. Was just interested in getting to know more about how the DSM OS hangs together.
