 We had an incident today where a new laptop with Windows 10 Pro couldn't connect to the folder share on one of our servers. The server is an old Windows 2003 Standard. After some research, I found that SMB 1.0 is no longer included in the newer releases of Windows 10.

It shows ACE.OLEDB.12.0, 15.0, and 16.0. If you don't have these, run the Access 2016 runtime installer from: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=50040
