When I try to transfer files using a Windows device, this error message appears: 0x8007003B: An unexpected network error occurred


Recommendation

There are many possible causes for this error message. Without more information, there isn't a clear solution. QNAP recommends trying one or more of the following solutions:

  • Try to transfer content with another PC. This may indicate whether the issue is related to the original PC, or the NAS itself.
  • Try to create a new file or folder on the NAS. Verify that you have the correct permissions by checking the system logs. 
  • Disable Windows Defender and any other antivirus software.
  • Disable any network firewalls.
  • Disable the Windows search function.

If the issue persists, it may be related to other Windows related issues. QNAP recommends contacting Microsoft directly for a detailed analysis.
