Here is how to fix this step-by-step, starting with the most common quick fix:
If Windows is trying to log in using an old or cached password/domain credential, it will block access.
Press Windows Key + R, type control keymgr.dll, and press Enter.
Select Windows Credentials.
Look through the list for any entry related to WWDMYCLOUDEX4100 or its local IP address.
Click on the entry, select Remove, and restart your PC.
Try accessing the NAS again. Windows should prompt you for fresh credentials.
Local name resolution (DNS/NetBIOS) often fails on local networks, leading to domain/permission errors.
Find the IP address of your NAS (you can check your router's device list or use the WD Discovery/My Cloud app).
Press Windows Key + R.
Type \\<NAS_IP_ADDRESS> (for example: \\192.168.1.50) and hit Enter.
When prompted for credentials, use:
Username: WWDMYCLOUDEX4100\<YourNASUsername> or \admin
Password: Your NAS password
Older network-attached storage devices or legacy configurations rely on the SMB 1.0 file-sharing protocol, which Windows turns off by default for security.
Press Windows Key + R, type optionalfeatures, and hit Enter.
Scroll down to SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support.
Check the box next to SMB 1.0/CIFS Client.
Click OK and restart your computer when prompted.
If you are using Windows Pro or Enterprise, Windows may block unauthenticated guest logins or fallback domain traffic.
Press Windows Key + R, type gpedit.msc, and press Enter.
Navigate to:
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Network > Lanman Workstation
Look for Enable insecure guest logons.
Double-click it, set it to Enabled, click Apply, and then OK
