Open PowerShell as administrator and run the command `Get-SmbServerConfiguration | Select EnableSMB1Protocol, EnableSMB2Protocol`. Ensure SMB2 and SMB3 are enabled. If SMB1 is disabled, it's generally recommended to keep it that way for security reasons, but if older devices require it, you can temporarily enable it with `Set-SmbServerConfiguration -EnableSMB1Protocol $true` (remember to disable it after testing). SMB1 is a security risk.
