Error connecting to Azure File Share from Windows 10 PC

Question

I am getting similar problem to that described here and other places:

but in my case it doesn't appear to be related to Port 445 being blocked. Test-NetConnection with port 445 works OK, and returns an IP address.

Credentials are stored using CmdKey, but I cannot access the share in Window explorer using the UNC path, and New-PSDrive returns an error:

New-PSDrive : The network resource type is not correct

Needed to disable NTLMv1 by setting the registry key value to 3 for:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa > LmCompatibilityLevel

The LmCompatibilityLevel key value doesn't exist on my Windows 10 machine. Did you create this key value? – dmb_acunim Mar 30 '20 at 13:46
The setting was already there set to 1. I just had to change it to 3. – Phil Preen Mar 31 '20 at 15:14
