Description of Issue

I suddenly cannot rip CD tracks from my PC (using dBpoweramp CD Ripper) to my Nucleus internal storage, which was working just 2-3 weeks ago. Windows Explorer cannot see my Nucleus, either addressed as \Nucleus\Storage\Data\InternalStorage, or as \192.168.68.5

I tried following instructions in an earlier thread named Windows 11 Network cant see Roon Nucleus. It said to use PowerShell to disable the SMB signing requirement, and disable guest fallback. But I do not get the powershell app screens shown in that thread. I’ve attached screenshots of what I see when I try that. Nothing works that way.

I need help getting my PC to see my Nucleus on my network as it has previously. Thanks!

Best, David

Hello @David_Taylor ,

Thanks for reaching out. It looks like you are on the correct path, but you opened Command Prompt instead of Windows Powershell. If you seach for “Powershell” in the Windows taskbar area, it should open the correct app. Then, please follow the instructions from the KB that @Geoff_Coupe provided, also copied below for easier access:

1. Since Group Policy Editor is not available by default, you’ll need to use PowerShell:
2. Press Start, type powershell, right-click Windows PowerShell, and choose Run as administrator. Accept the prompt.
3. To disable the SMB signing requirement, run:

Set-SmbClientConfiguration -RequireSecuritySignature $false

1. When prompted, type Y and press Enter.

1. To enable guest fallback, run:

Set-SmbClientConfiguration -EnableInsecureGuestLogons $true

1. Again, type Y and press Enter.

Let us know how this goes!

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, when I search in the Windows taskbar search area for Powershell, the Powershell app does not appear. He is what I get:

So I can’t follow the Geoff Coupe instructions. What should I do?

[Geoff_Coupe]

You screenshot shows that you are in fact running PowerShell. Ignore the message about getting the latest version and just enter the steps shown in the article…

[David_Taylor]

If I hit the Start window at the bottom left of the taskbar, and type Powershell into the search bar at the top of the list of applications, here is what I get:

@noris

Set-SmbClientConfiguration -RequireSecuritySignature $false

When I do that in the Powershell black command window, the commands don’t work:

When I try to put the commands you sent into the Powershell black command window, they don’t work. Here is what I get:

You seem to keep on switching into the Command Shell…

You must run PowerShell (as Administrator)…

[David_Taylor]

@noris

Set-SmbClientConfiguration -RequireSecuritySignature $false

I hit the Windows Start symbol at the far left of the taskbar, then searched for Powershell, then right-clicked on Powershell and selected Run As Administrator. When I then entered the command " ```
Set-SmbClientConfiguration -RequireSecuritySignature $false", this is what I got:

Still not working

[Geoff_Coupe]

Try typing Y rather than A?

[David_Taylor]

@noris

Set-SmbClientConfiguration -RequireSecuritySignature $false

@noris

Set-SmbClientConfiguration -RequireSecuritySignature $false

Alas, same result

This is how “Run as administrator” looks at my end.

and as a user

It looks to me that your are not using “Run as administrator”

@Torben_Rick

It looks to me that your are not using “Run as administrator”

Exactly! When you select run as Administrator it will default to C:\Windows\System32

Hey @David_Taylor,

Both @Torben_Rick and @Rugby are correct above - let us know if that changes anything for you!
