Apologies for the cross post but I had no response to a similar thread on the ATV forum.
I have a 4th Gen TC (2TB) and have a mixed apple / windows environment at home. I have seen that FW 7.6.3 has been released for TC/AE but I still have this really annoying issue where my only solution is to use f/w 7.5.2.
The issue is that smb sharing from the TC does not work properly on any f/w version from 7.6+. Basically file transfers drop/stop/slow using 7.6+ and I can even get my TC to hang on wifi requiring a reboot of the TC. It's not good and using iTunes on windows using the TC as a file share is not possible on 7.6+
I have posted to apple feedback page for TC after every release of the 7.6 firmware. Apple have not done anything to address the issue.
Interestingly, the following thread best describes what I think might be the cause.

Do any of you have any thoughts about what else I can try to fix this or should I just stick with f/w 7.5.2?
Is there anything in later FW that I am missing? I'm thinking improvements to airplay is the biggest thing. I use airplay all the time and it is reasonably stable but I can't help thinking that it would be better on a later FW.
Thanks in advance (please don't say 'buy a mac')... I can't believe that I am the only person using a TC with windows. Surely others will have reported this issue too.
