SMB root tree share not working

[burned toast]

I have a simple SMB configuration which works fine in version 4.13.13, but in version 4.19.5 it doesn't show me the main folder where I can see all other shared folders:

root
|---- A
----- B

I can go to \\IP\A and \\IP\B
but not to \\IP\

What causes this to break in the newer version? How can I fix this?
I am using UBUNTU 24.

[global]
   workgroup = WORKGROUP
   log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
   max log size = 1000
   syslog = 0
   panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
   server role = standalone server
   passdb backend = tdbsam
   obey pam restrictions = yes
   unix password sync = yes
   passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
   passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .
   pam password change = yes
   map to guest = bad user
   usershare allow guests = yes
[A]
   comment = my A share
   path = /tmp
   browseable = yes
   read only = yes
   create mask = 0700
   guest ok = yes
   directory mask = 0700
[B]
   comment = my B share
   path = /tmp
   browseable = yes
   read only = yes
   guest ok = yes

G'day @burned toast and welcome to linux.org

I understand SMB is Samba related, are

works fine in version 4.13.13, but in version 4.19.5 it doesn't show me

versions of that?

Whomever helps you could do with more information.

Linux distro you are using, and so on.

This is a Networking question, take a look at

https://www.linux.org/forums/linux-networking.144/

and tell me which category is best suited, and I can move this thread there.

Yes this is Samba related. I added my distribution to the post.

Moving this to Networking.
