WD Cloud NAS Drive not showing up in discover but is on network

I have a NAS drive thats on the network aka putting out an IP but the shared folder isnt there in file discovery and its not showing up in the WD Discovery.

Is this fried or is there a fix? Losing the data is not an option.

TECH SUPPORT WAS HORRIBLE!!!

HEEEEEEEEEELP!

What WD device do you own? Is it the 1st generation single bay WDMYCLOUD?

I did a lot of research on why window wasn’t recognising the network connections or files that it did previously. After many trial changes of many files and perditions I came across a YouTube video not WD related but Network Related about changes in the Windows 10/11 registry with - AllowInsecureGuestAuth - and found that this file was missing after a few updates in windows update. I googled how to add this back into my registry and WHALA my Network/Windows Explorer/ and all files are accessible and working fine just like new and I now have access to my WD EX4100 NASS Dashboard which for whatever reason I lost access too. Food for thought anyone having issues in these areas. Just thought I would share this as I couldn’t find fixes anywhere for a while…

I hope this helps someone, Cheers.

Im not exactly sure which model it is and i dont see a model on it. It resembles the picture but the bottom half is grey or silver, and the top half is white, and yes its a single bay. Ive tried connecting to it on Windows 10 & 11 with no luck but i see the IP address.

Does it look like this? (My Cloud)


Or does it look like this? (My Cloud Home)

The My Cloud Home is a complely different device than the My Cloud line of devices. If you have a My Cloud Home, see the dedicated subforum for that device.
