Windows 10: Windows 10 user not prompted for login credentials on access to shared folder on server.

When trying to access a folder shared on a Windows Server 2022 not a DC one user gets prompted for credentials but others all with the same permissions are getting the error "Windows cannot access <\\server\share>. You do not have permission to access <\\server\share>. Contact your network administrator to request access".I have created user accounts and passwords. I have added these users to the Share permissions and shared the folder. One user can access gets prompted to enter credentials while the other 4 get this error. All are Windows 10 Pro computers. How can I fix this

Win 10 PC accessing a Win 10 Everyone share prompted for credentials


I have a new Windows 10 Home computer and I've selected a folder and shared it. I've added Everyone to the Share Permissions list with Full Control.






I've selected "Turn off password protected sharing" in the Advance Sharing Center.






When I try to access the share with a Windows 7 laptop in the home it connects right away without a prompt for credentials. When I try to access the share from another Windows 10 device (Surface) there is a prompt for credentials and I am unable to access the shared folder. There are no common account names between machines on my home network.

On the Windows 10 machine which is trying to connect I have run Net use * /DELETE and removed all Windows Credentials using the Credentials Manager then rebooted both machines a few times. Still though the Windows 7 machine can access the share with no credentials and the Windows 10 machine can't access it at all.

My goal is to get the share working for the Windows 10 machine as it works for the Windows 7. Full access, no prompt for credentials. I've workaround steps that will provide access so that type of information isn't needed.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post and any help would be most appreciated.

 

Win 10 PC accessing a Win 10 Everyone share prompted for credentials

Here is the solution for this issue :

1 Right click on the folder that you want to share
2. Go to Properties
3. Go to Security Tab then click Edit on group and usernames
4. Click Add and on the user and group window click advance
5. Click Find Now and look for Everyone on the Search results, Click OK to close the window and OK again
6. Give the control you need for Everyone and click "OK"

That should make that folder accessible without prompting for windows credentials

 

Network Credential does not prompt when accessing shared folder

Hi,

I have a Windows Server 2019 Standard running as a Workgroup (no domain or AD) as a file sharing server. Local user account users were created and assign to different shared folder. When user try to access the folders, the Windows Network Credentials will be prompt the user to key in the username and password.

It was implemented earlier November 2021 and was working fine until recently.

Now, the Network Credentials will not prompt and the error message of not have the permission to access the folder will prompt when the user click on the folders.

File and Printer Sharing option is turn on.

I had try turn on and off the Password Protected Sharing. The result is still the same.

I try change the Network connection to "Private" or "Public" will yield same result.

Create a new shared folder will also give me result.

Create new user account does not solve the problem.

Had remove any credential in the workstation Credential Manager doe snot solve the issue.

I try to Map the drive and tick the "Connect using different credential", it will keep prompting to key in username and password as if the password is wrong.

I'm out of idea what can I do.
