I have a Windows 7 (Ultimate) computer that got upgraded to Windows 10 Pro.
After upgrade everything works fine except that I needed to manually update the Geforce drivers, which wasn't too much of an issue.
But now I've got this problem and I have no idea what is causing it:
On the system there is 1 shared folder containing video-clips (WMV, MKV, MP4 formats). This share is accessible to 5 other computers in the house: 3 Windows 7 systems and 2 Mac's (Yosemite).
After the upgrade the other systems can still get at the share and view the video's, but they can not longer delete them after viewing.
In fact: On the Windows 10 box itself the files are locked too, after being viewed from over the network, and I can't delete them there either.
I need to reboot the Windows 10 box to clear the locks. (Logging off and back on is not enough.)
With Windows 7 this never happened.
Anybody have any idea what is going on? And how to solve this?
PS. No domain involved. The other computers log on to the share with the userid/password of a local user on the Windows 10 computer. This is exactly the same as previously under Windows 7.
All computers, Windows and OSX, are current with updates.
Behavior is independent of the virus-scanner (Windows Defender) being active or not.
This question suggests that the Search-Index engine may have something to do with it. I'm going to disable that later today as it doesn't make sense anyway for a disk only holding transient, temporary data. If it makes any difference I will update this.
Thanks for the hint on disabling indexing, doing it now on my new Win10 movie machine… similar setup to yours with Mac & Win accessing media on it. idk if it may also help, but I set the movie drives to be full control for everybody in the Security tab - I just don't need security on a disk full of ephemeral media. – Tetsujin – 2015-08-04T15:16:19.040
@Tetsujin Full Control in my case too. No need for anything stringent. – Tonny – 2015-08-04T17:43:32.577
