Can't get the Windows 10 NFS Client to Work

It should be as simple as enabling the NFS feature in Windows 10 Pro and mounting with:

mount -u:myusername -p:mypassword \\192.168.10.10\mnt\mysharedfolder z:

However, I keep getting Network Error - 1326. I know this share is working as I have it mounted on another Linux VM. I have disabled Samba on the VM just in case it’s confusing Windows and I’ve disabled NFSv4 since NFSv3 is the maximum supported version for Windows 10 Pro.

I’m not really sure where to look for logs for NFS. Any pointers?

Mount requires administrative permissions. Are you running this command from an elevated command prompt?

Next let’s verify that NFS support is enabled. Can you run these two commands below separately from an elevated powershell window and make sure both reply with State: Enabled?

DISM /Online /Get-FeatureInfo /FeatureName:ServicesforNFS-ClientOnly
DISM /Online /Get-FeatureInfo /FeatureName:ClientforNFS-Infrastucture

And lastly try connecting using File Explorer. In the address bar type \\192.168.10.10\mnt\mysharedfolder. It should prompt your for credentials if communicating correctly with your NFS server.

PS: Network Error 1326 means that authentication failed. Windows Event viewer → Security section should have more details if none of the above suggestions work.
