After installing KB4480970 on a Windows 7 PC hosting a SMBv2 share it could not be connected to anymore.

After deinstalling the update it was working again.

Interesting, I wonder if this has anything to do with the kind of vulnerability that plagued SMBv1 (the EternalBlue exploit employed in the original WannaCry/WannaCrypt0r attacks/epidemic)?

I disable all the sharing/remote stuff on my systems so if it broke anything with that I would not have noticed, so thanks for the info as I'm sure there are plenty of users who do use this functionality, especially for local shared network storage setups.
