SONOS + QNAP NAS Can't Add Music Folder

I have read many posts on this topic and still have no clear answer or solution. I have a QNAP NAS and am running a Windows 10 PC. I currently have a USB drive attached directly to my Modem/Router and that is discovered and used by Sonos. I can add a Folder from my PC successfully but I WANT to add a folder from my NAS. When I attempt to do so, an error message telling me that I need to update my registry appears. I have read the linked Microsoft article and performed the Registry Update and rebooted - no success. I have turned off my Firewall - no success. Like everybody else I have no SMBv1 running - is this or is this not the issue? Sonos seem to be saying (?) that they no longer rely on SMB? I am frankly lost trying to keep track of whether it is or isn’t so. Having read extensively about this issue it seems to have been a topic for over 3 years. Is there a specific solution for this as if there is I haven’t been able to track it down? A solution would be gratefully accepted. Obviously I haven’t read every single message in relation to this - there are hundreds in multiple threads so please forgive me if I have missed the definitive solution, please just direct me to it.

It is likely that SMB v1 is the issue. Turn up it on for your system and test. It’s no longer used for local libraries on a PC, but still used for NAS libraries.
