Uninstall and Disable SMBv1 in Windows 10 & Windows 11

a program or method to stop unnecessary running programs on windows by default. on the task manager there are many. what is the use of them and what happens if we stop them. many will appreciate it. there are some software but i dont know whether they do good.

I use NFS….
no! am not forcing you or anybody to use NFS…
….am just telling you I use NFS….plain and simple….understand?
chill…..

Don't worry, windows updates will keep shutting it off for you… been battling this for two years now.

I need it to access my storage server

What about those who use Samba for file sharing?

SMBv1 can transfer files directly from Windows XP hard drive to Windows 10 hard drive over a local network. Without SMBv1 local network file transfer will not work at all to Windows XP. This is reason why SMBv1 is on. NAS Boxes can use SMBv1 and NAS Boxes stop working if SMBv1 is disabled. Those who do not need to transfer files to Windows XP or NAS Box can disable SMBv1. The old NAS may not support the newer SMB version. The SMB version must first be checked in the NAS box.

Better Than Fifa shit we hear every year and also its free

Dear Sir, I have been following you for a long time now, let me tell you that your content is highly informative, interesting and logical. The points you make are placed in perfect sequence.
Because of people like you there is still hope in this world.
I thank you from the bottom of heart ❤.❤❤❤

The SMBv1 server hasn't been installed by default since Windows 10 v1709 (aka Fall Creators update), which came out almost 7 years ago. The SMBv1 client was removed for Pro in clean installs of Windows 10 v1809 and then removed from Windows 11 Home Insider on April 19, 2022.

My NAS's support SMB v1, V2, and V3; I disabled both V1 and V2 a number of years back.

If you have a device that only supports SMB v1, you could search google for something like Why is SMB v1 dangerous

Then decide whether you want to take the risks associated on your network, for both your devices that connect to the storage device, and to your workstations/laptops that are on that network. Hopefully you'd be thinking : "Perhaps it's time for me to consider replacing my older unsupported device". If not, it's a choice that you are making for yourself.
The current version of SMB on Windows is 3.1.1. In reality, if there's a version 4 released, I will reconsider whether to leave my devices online, or to lock the devices down further. In the case that the manufacturer of my device stops providing updates, I again will reconsider whether to leave my storage devices, from them, online or to lock the devices down further. At some point, I will likely just replace them with something better suited for my needs.
Oh, yeah, I disabled V2 because, well, it's got vulnerabilities too; far less than V1, but still, if I don't need it, it's disabled.

If I didn't have the cash to buy a new storage system, I'd repurpose a desktop and toss in some large drives and share files that way; that'd allow me up to about 10 connections to that Windows workstation and still be more up to date than a system from pre-2015

Numbers: The more devices that are on your network increases your risks; the more people on your network also increases your risks as well. If you can tolerate the risk of being hit by malware or ransomware, and have good backups of critical data, – then good for you. If not, then consider what it would take to bring your setup into a better situation. In reality, I've never been hit by ransomware; although on occasion I do find malware on certain computers & media, especially from work related sources. Yes, in my world, the riskier things are actually associated with, uh, work.
Pirating software, movies, etc – may SIGNIFICANTLY increase your risks as well; reality is that most folks won't get hit by malware, but most that do would end up losing everything short of what's in their camera's SD card. Consider things like this when considering whether to allow SMB v1 on your network, or to not update your computers, etc.

No, it's not disabled by default on my PC, but looking at comments, I won't mess with this feature 😄

Context is everything. Please tells us what is SMBv1 and why we should remove it.

so guy in video and non of the comments cares to explain what smb1 is, what it does and what risk does it pose if enabled…

I'm surprised you didn't link to an article on your website for this, as it would be a good reason for someone to visit to be able to copy the Powershell commands. MIssed opportunity.

checked windows features , mine was already turned off

Dlink NAS completely disabled when MS blocked SMB1 by default. Had to rebuild SMB1 access to get any access to my systems.

Even normal file sharing on a home network doesn't work properly without this being enabled sometimes …. sure;y MS would have removed it from windows features if it was that a big of a deal … them being all security conscious with the whole TPM and all ??

Indeed, if you disable SMB you can/will lose access to your NAS. I don't think Brian should have posted this video without giving us an alternative that allows us to access NAS.

This day in ages anything tech is a risk id rather have mine left alone for more ways to share files

I get this error: Set-SmbServerConfiguration : Access is denied.

Unfortunaterly, I have NAS that only supports SMBv1.
