LED light is not on anymore

I rebooted the laptop & clicked Network. This time WDMYCLOUD was NOT there anymore. Worse, I couldn’t connect to it at all after manually typing in \WDMYCLOUD.

Will try the “Disable SMB2 & SMB3” option later. What possible side effects are there if SMB2 & SMB3 are disabled?

Before I went ahead to disable SMB2 & SMB3, for the last time I clicked Network.

MYCLOUD showed up under “Computer”. I clicked it, and, wow ! I was able to go into MyCloud !!! I moved around to see the folders & files there.

Then I closed the window, & rebooted my laptop. All was gone. Back to square one! [big sigh]

I’ll leave things as they are, wait & see if it all comes back.

UPDATE

After clicking “Network”, with the window showing only the laptop itself & my desktop computer, I decided to leave the window on & walked away.

Guess what happened next?

When I returned after abt an hour, WDMYCLOUD appeared under “Computer” when I refreshed the window. I clicked it, & all the folders in MyCloud showed up !!! I was able to open the folders to see the files inside.

I didn’t disable SMB2 & SMB3. No, did nothing else. And it is ok. Looks like it takes time for the laptop to find MyCloud, then they take time to talk with each other before the laptop wld decide to display MyCloud. How long does it all take? I don’t know. I thought my laptop runs at 1.60 to 2.30 GHz speed. Maybe there’s a timer somewhere?

Anyone has any clue(s)?
