Hmm, so you set 'client max protocol' to SMB3 which means SMB3_11 and 
this is the default, so you haven't really set anything ;-)

Your problem is the lack of SMBv1, you must have this for network 
browsing, Samba stopped using SMBv1 when 4.5.0 was released and Windows 
has also turned it off on Win10, though you can still turn it back on 
again on both.

Windows will negotiate the highest protocol possible.
