FreeFileSync version 10.9 gets Error: Cannot read file attributes of "Z:\"
Error Code 58: ... [GetFileInformationByHandle]
This error orrcus during the COMPARE phase.

The computer is running Windows 10, version 1809 (OS Build 17763.253)

"Z:\" is a share on a WDmyCloudMirror NAS server.

Until recently FreeFileSync was able to access this NAS drive/share with no problem.
Sometime after a recent Window 10 update and a FreeFileSync update, this error started happening.
I cannot tell which software update may have initiated the problem.

Using FreeFileSync version 10.9 on another Window 10 computer running at version 1809 (Os Build 17763.316) this error does NOT occur when accessing the very same WD NAS drive.

The problem does NOT occur on either computer when FreeFileSync accesses shares on Synology NAS servers.
