  4. Your organization blocked this file because it didn’t meet a security policy

    You can't access this shared folder because your organization's security policies block unauthenticated guest access.

    I have updated to windows 10, version 2004. Now on accessing shared folder I'm getting message "You can't access this shared folder because your organization's security policies block unauthenticated guest access. These policies help protect your PC
    from unsafe or malicious devices on the network"

    I have gone through this link "Enable insecure guest logons in SMB2 and SMB3 for Windows client and Windows Server"

    But workaround given in above support article not working for me.

    [Computer configuration\administrative templates\network\Lanman Workstation
    "Enable insecure guest logons"]
    I'm still getting the same error. Please let me know what other steps can be taken to get access again.
