I have updated the Windows 10 to version 20H2 and after that all my Samba shares on the Debian are became inaccessible.

The ping from Windows 10 to Debian is successful. But when I trying in the Windows Explorer enter the path \\192.168.2.7\space, where space is a share in the Samba, the following message does appear:

Tried solutions from this post How to connect to an smb share? but they did not help.

The SMB File Sharing Support enabled on the Windows 10:

NOTE: I can access the Samba shares from Samsung Galaxy as usual, without problem.

Finally I found what caused the problem.

In my case, from some reason after the Windows upgrade to 20H2, the network discovery service was Turned off.

Every time when I checked Turn on network discovery radio button and pressed Save changes the dialog was closed without any message, but the service was failed to start.

I found in the System event log the following message:

Description: The Remote Access Connection Manager service depends on the DNS Client service which failed to start because of the following error: The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.

As turned out, the DNS Client service was disabled for some reason after upgrading the Windows to 20H2. So, enabling and starting the DNS Client service helped to turn on the network discovery and all Samba shares became visible.

NOTE: There is very useful post How to fix ‘Windows cannot access computer’ error code 0x80004005. This post describes several fixes that might be applied to fix the Windows cannot access ... Error code 0x80004005 issue.
