Windows 10 SMB shares

Operating Systems & Open Source Windows

I have been getting a lot poorer performance using smb shares on Windows 10 than I had been getting on 7 and 8.1 Previously I would get the login box right away when clicking on the network location, and would see the shared folders right away upon logging in. Now there is much more delay getting the login dialog, and then more delay establishing the connection. There are usually bogus messages about permissions and contacting the system administrator along the way, messages which I never used to get on 7 and 8.1 systems I have, or do, use, but it eventually does establish connection . Has anyone else here had analogous experiences?

The file servers have been Linux systems running samba, the clients the home versions of windows 7, 8.1, and 10.

Did not have such issue with windows 10. But I did have similar issues from Debian using smb to Window server 2012 versions.

I think its a general problem, you just have not noticed it before 10 . But as you said it does eventually connect. It is bound to get better as samba progresses...

I had noticed some flakiness using samba between two Linux systems (so I set up NFS for when I roll nix to nix) but this is the first I've noticed it in the Linux server, Windows client situation, and the Linux to Linux flakiness seems to have passed. But yeah, based on past samba progress I shouldn't be surprised if the wrinkles are ironed out. Thanks for the reply.
