Can't access Humax SMB share after Windows 10 update

Following a Windows 10 update I am no longer able to access the video folder on my HDR-Fox T2 from my PC. File Explorer simply doesn't connect. Directory Opus gives a message saying that the share "requires the obsolete SMB1 protocol, which is unsafe...".

Any ideas how I can work around this?
 
Win10 does not support the SMB1 protocol by default, and the HDR-FOX does not offer SMB3. I believe you can enable SMB1 in Win10 (google it).

Alternatively:
  • Try NFS instead (nfs-utils package);

  • Try the beta Samba 3 package (note this is not the same as SMB3):

    I am now using the package on Win 10 without needing SMB1 enabled,
    The humax does not appear as a computer in the Network section but you can still map network links by typing the name into the Map dialogue
    Click to expand...
 
I've been hunting around for the beta Samba 3 package. I have v2.0.5 of the auto-update package installed, but I don't see the opkg-beta package which provides access to beta packages. Have I been reading obsolete instructions?

Edit: I already have SMB1 enabled in Windows 10, but I guess something in the wonderful monthly Windows update has broken something....

Thanks for pointing that out - I've now managed to install the beta Samba 3 package. Sadly it hasn't resolved the problem, though.
I also have NFS services enabled on my Windows PC, but that isn't helping either.
