Windows 10: Error 0X80070035 “The network path was not found.”

It appears that hundreds, if not thousands, of people are getting the above error on the Windows 11 24H2 operating system.I recently purchased two new computers running Windows 10 Home 24H2 and I have all the latest updates.For 13 years I had two computers running Windows 10 with file and printer sharing enabled and had no problems.Since purchasing the two new computers running Windows 11 Home 24H2, I receive the above error when I try to setup file and printer sharing between the new devices.Both computers are connected to a router, show up under Network in File Explorer, can be pinged, and u

Folders shared on one system (or vice versa) not viewable/accessible on other: Error code 0x80070035, The network path was not found in explorer. Machines show in Explorer. Can see self in explorer and shared folders [& accessible] but not other machine (or vice versa): Error code 0x80070035, The network path was not found Add any more machines to network, same issues. What once upon a time so readily worked in XP is now a defunct nightmare. See below screenshot:

Error 0x80070035 The Network Path Was Not Found

Hello,

I'm having an issue connecting to a fresh install of Windows 10 Home, from a Windows 10 Pro Laptop.

I have set up a bunch of shares on the desktop (computer name HTPC), and can access them from that computer directly when I navigate to \\HTPC.

However, when I try to connect from my laptop (on the same network), it shows up on the list of devices in my network, but when I try to open it, I get the Error 0x80070035 The Network Path Was Not Found.

Any suggestions?

I've already turned off password protected sharing (I want these files totally open to anyone on network). I am trying to avoid the use of a homegroup, as there are other non-windows devices which will eventually need to connect as well.
