    3 same user accounts on 3 different comps. 1 user of the 3 cannot access shared drives from...


    3 desktop PCs. 3 user accounts each. All clean installs. Using microsoft accounts, i.e. hotmail IDs and passwords to setup each account and then PIN. Absolutely the same procedure on each PC.
    name: comp1 workgroup: workgroup
    *** Email address is removed for privacy *** pin 1234 account created and verified. sync settings ON. account type: administrator
    already added family accounts appear on verification: *** Email address is removed for privacy *** and *** Email address is removed for privacy ***
    I as in Tom select: Can sign in on this device. account type: standard for both the accounts.
    *** Email address is removed for privacy *** Sign into this account, set pin 2345, verify, logout
    *** Email address is removed for privacy *** Sign into this account, set pin 3456, verify, logout

    On the 2nd computer:
    name: comp2 workgroup: workgroup
    *** Email address is removed for privacy *** pin 1234 account created and verified. sync settings ON. account type: administrator
    already added family accounts appear on verification: *** Email address is removed for privacy *** and *** Email address is removed for privacy ***
    I as in Tom select: Can sign in on this device. account type: standard for both the accounts.
    *** Email address is removed for privacy *** Sign into this account, set pin 2345, verify, logout
    *** Email address is removed for privacy *** Sign into this account, set pin 3456, verify, logout

    On the 3rd computer:
    name: comp3 workgroup: workgroup
    *** Email address is removed for privacy *** pin 1234 account created and verified. sync settings ON. account type: administrator
    already added family accounts appear on verification: *** Email address is removed for privacy *** and *** Email address is removed for privacy ***
    I as in Tom select: Can sign in on this device. account type: standard for both the accounts.
    *** Email address is removed for privacy *** Sign into this account, set pin 2345, verify, logout
    *** Email address is removed for privacy *** Sign into this account, set pin 3456, verify, logout

    C and D drives on all 3 comps. D drive is shared on all 3 comps.
    named as comp1-D, comp2-D, comp3-D
    3 computers connected physically by LAN cable through a router. Network is private not public.

    Now heres the bummer:
    Tom and Harry can access the shared D drives and the files and folders on them OF any computer FROM any computer
    BUT **** CANT.
    **** ALWAYS gets the Windows Network Credentials prompt for username and password.
    Entering *** Email address is removed for privacy *** and the password DOES NOT WORK.
    Adding credentials in the Windows Credentials manager DOES NOT WORK.

    I don't want to disable password sharing.


    Why is it that 2 of the accounts can access the shared drives but one cant?

    All 3 computers were installed using the Win10_20H2_v2_English_x64.iso from microsoft directly.
    Now all 3 computers are -
    Edition Windows 10 Pro
    Version 20H2 OS build 19042.928
    Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.551.0

    I had no problems in windows 10 version 1909. But since the prompt for update to 20H2 started appearing, I was foolish to upgrade i did a clean install though all the computers to 20H2 and now this headache.

    :)

    Cannot access shared network drive


    Personally, I wouldnt use Everyone. If anyone hacks into you, they have full access to everything and can demolish everything on your raid. I would rather set up accounts and access separately for each person. That way, I know who did all that damage. In the end with a little extra work, I feel more secure by using Authenticated Users.


    If this helps.
    step 1 create non-microsoft account and without email and address without admin rights
    step 2 share a drive or folder to specific user account (if Everyone is listed, remove it)
    step 3 set security > add Authenticated Users (if more than 1 account) or add specific users
    step 3a remove Everyone from list
    step 3b uncheck full control and write for all items listed except SYSTEM and Admin account.
    step 4 right click Start > Computer Management > System Tools > Shared Folders > Shares ... to verify settings and change anything else. You can also see the number of connections to each share here.

    Cannot access shared network drive


    I could scream! so much time wasted on this stupid error, as if time is not precious enough!
    It probably would work fine if I could see the other computer! But I cannot see the other computer!

    screenshot of 3 user accounts


    Okay I managed to get my friend to take a picture with his camera of the computer screen when I shut down the computer and turn it back on again... Can you see 3 different accounts? I know it should have the regular user account "Claudia" and the Administrator account, but that third one is supposed to be deleted.
