Require some info about the Windows 10 fix that was provided. It would of occurred during beta (tech preview) releases of Windows 10. Would it be reasonable to remove this since Windows 10 is now a full release (so to speak)?
I will also add a modified version of Homegroup sharing to Windows 10 since I have confirmed this working too.

Try using a homegroup and connecting your OpenELEC box via SMB and see how you go, you really shouldn't need to make registry edits.

I have not had the time to dedicate to this fully, but so far the results
1. No homecult, same workgroup, no regedit: Matricom openelc v 5.0.3 SMB access fine, cannot set content (Mac fail error)
2. homecult, same workgroup, no regedit: Matricom openelc v 5.0.3 SMB access fine, cannot set content (Mac fail error)
In both cases SMB was by host name, not ip. Will try ip
However I think I may need to put a fresh openelc load on the Matricom, other errors acting up.. I should have time tomorrow to work on it, and start from scratch.
I really have no idea what I am talking about. Proceed with caution. I confuse easily. And drink. A lot.

I'd first like to say thank you to all who have contributed. My system is working only because of all of your help.
My system: Dell Chromebox with I3 & 4GB. OpenELEC installed as stand alone.
I ran into some buffering and dropping out of playback issues using smb. If I used UPNP it worked and played back files fine, there were other issues with UPNP.
I then had to make a few more changes according to your Wiki regarding the Regedit (Point 4.1) and the 2nd change in the mentioned Win7 kb also in your wiki.
I actually had to do the second regedit to get the buffering and dropping of the playback to stop occurring.
I knew it wasn't that I was on wifi because when I used NFS for the file sharing it went very smoothly, no buffering and no crash out of the playback. The issue I could not figure out how to get the TV Shows and Movies to show up on the main screen of Kodi. I also realized the scrapers were not available using NFS. So I really wanted the smb file stuff to work.
Also, FYI, I never had an issue when I was using a windows box, just used normal file sharing and no issues at all.
Thanks once again for all of your help!

If you have an Openelec device turn SMB off on it, this will clear up the issue. I had been fighting not being able to update my movie library for the past year regularly on two separate KODI devices running Openelec (Chromebox & NUC). Once I turned the SMB server off on both of them (the Chromebox decided it was my master browser, couldn't run Lanscan, got Error Code 53) the updates work perfectly fine.

Wow I don't believe it but thanks to you I've solved my issue of the vibrating side to side main screen.
I had installed my Skull Candy gamepad the other day and no that I uninstalled it............Kodi works fine.

This can probably be unsticky'd and moved into main chat.
