Here’s what worked for me. It involved 2 changes and the first did not work without the second. First: select all networks. Under password selected sharing, select the second option “Turn off password protected sharing. Second: Follow the same sequence as above and when you get to “Change Sharing Options. When you sign back in you should be able to work on network devices without a request for credentials. I have a similar problem.

W7 is not allowed access to W Popup asks for user and password. No combination of user and pass on W10 work. It wants the user and pass from W7. Not intuitive! I setup a new account on W7 with the same user and pass as W Tried it all again. Still get same “Network Error” W10 resets “Not Shared” every time you access “Advance sharing” whether or not you change anything.

Of course there is still the problem of accessing files on another network computer with password protection active. My previous posts apply when “Turn off password protected sharing” is set in Advance sharing.

With W10 set to use password protection, no user, password combination on W7 works. Not W10 passwords nor W7 passwords. On the other hand, W10 does get access to the W7. I use the W10 user pass and get access to everything shared on W7.

Not intuitive, and the sharing computer is not protected by entering the inquiring computer’s password. It may be protected by the User Group password, but that is visible on multiple computers and may have been printed out or copied down many times. I do not understand what user pass is required or where it is verified or how to set it when password protected sharing is set to “on”.

After following all of the suggestions above, I was still getting the “Enter Network Credentials” dialog box, which would never allow me to gain access to the Desktop ‘administrative shares’. I checked all kinds of Security settings and Permissions, but to no avail. A search in Google located the following blog which although for Win 7 or Vista, happened to be the solution to my problem.

In my case the Registry key on the Desktop was missing. Creating it as per the following link fixed the issue. I have 3 existing Windows 10 PCs. All signing in with the same Microsoft account user name is hotmail email address. All PCs has following in Advanced sharing settings:. Shared folder on these computers with permission set to Everyone. All of them can access each other just fine.

Then I added a shared folder on the new PC. Alright let’s go back to the basics then. You can ping the machines containing the shares Can you post the error you are getting when you are trying to access the shares?

Remove all the network drive attached, go in registry and make sure the entries containing cached credentials have been removed :. Update – switched back to original static IP, all still good – whatever it was that flipped me out I have no idea! I have been using windows since Windows1. I updated laptop beginning of December, had problems connecting through a share to another pc, kept getting share name not spelt right, missing protocols on this computer.

Today decided to sort it out spent several checking, I could ping from and to laptop from other pc’s. Could see and access the laptop share from the other pcs but couldn’t access them through the share on the laptop. Tried searching the web tried various things, came across this post and remembered that I had to do something like this years back on an old Microsoft version.

Many thanks for this. Recently upgraded all PCs to Windows 10 Pro. All other PCs can access shared drives on 2 of the PCs with no problem. Randomly, the shared PCs in question did not appear in the Network in Explorer, but have since come back. I have pfsense set-up at home and a site to site connected Ipsec connection to an ipcop at H. I had the same problem: w10pro unable to access remote shared folder. Ping worked fine.

Previous posted solutions did not work for me. Just change “allow windows to manage homegroup connections Greetings to all from Romania. I created an account just to post it, hope it helps someone else too. Good afternoon my win10 surface pro had mapped drives.

Then I turn it on Monday morning and it can’t connect to the drives. I got the error above “windows can not access”. What worked for me was mapping a new drive and checking the box “connect using different credentials. That worked and it turned all my drives back on. Mine is a credentials issue. I have this workaround but I’m not sure it is a solution. Its a solution!

Just check the box to remind your system on your user and passw. Bell Techlogix is an IT service provider. This solution worked for me. I ran the command netsh winsock reset then did a reboot. After that installed, I did another reboot. I’ve been having this problem for a while on two win10 computer. I could see the drive but could not access it. This is what is working for me so far. Problem is solved. A day after reporting the problem above an update came from Microsoft not the usual format update almost a special update and after that the problem did not exist anymore.

I believe that Microsoft monitors your site. Thank you very much I am very pleased. This problem gets me all the time working between win10 and win8. I had a custom application that wouldn’t write to mapped network drives, ONLY on Windows 10 machines.

We had the same problem–it ended up being a corrupt user profile. Solution create a new user profile. In Windows 10 go to Credential Manager – Windows Credentials, find your network share you can’t access and click to remove it. Next time you try to access this share you’d create a new password for it.

I had the same issue while using a static IP. I tried everything but nothing seemed to be working. I switched to DHCP and then back to static and was able to access the shared folder. Greetings, as of this morning all Windows 10 PC’s can’t access mapped drives on W2k8 r2 server in a workgroup environment.

Win 7 machines have access. But, I can not access the shared files. When I double click on the server icon, I receive the same error posted by Wesley Wall. I can report in that none of the provided solutions worked for me : Although there were some really really good ones! So far no go. I’m holding out and trying not to reset and wipe windows and start from scratch. If anyone has any ideas, more are welcome! I’m hoping this doesn’t affect any other PC’s in our office. Thankfully I’m the only one so far Thanks for the reply!

I can’t access the other two boxes that I decommissioned but still have powered on. I can access the and boxes. My secondary desktop is a Win7 machine and can access the ‘s with no problems using my domain name too.

All other Win10 and Win7 machines in the office can access with no problem. It did finally complete successfully though. Netlogon and print spooler and other services are started and working now. I was hoping that was the golden ticket, but I guess not. If netlogon wouldn’t start, you arent getting on the shares.

Fixing that should have been the solution. For me I couldn’t find quite a few of the settings mentioned in this post, but changing “Make this PC discoverable” after clicking on the network connection in Control Panel, then going back to Explorer, which now told me Network Sharing was disabled or the message you get when you click on Network in the folder tree and it shows nothing , reenabling it made my Diskstation appear under Computers in addition to Media and Other Devices which it did before , then I could map the drives.

Seems to be a bit flaky. Maybe you have SMB disabled. I myself had SMBv1 for some stupid reason disabled, and could not access one server which was a bit older. Once I unblocked this, it worked. Very weird as I was able to connect from a Win 7 laptop to a Win 7 machine, but not from a WIn 10 laptop to the Win 7 machine Try this. We just upgraded our machine to windows 10 and I have a few users that could not access a driver letter that was mapped via group policy. In Windows explorer you can not disconnect the drive because it is still trying to make the connect.

Here is the solution that worked for me. If you are not in a domain I assume deleting the manual mapped drive using the dos prompt above then remapping it would do the same.
