Windows 10: Can't access shared computer after update

Just did an update on one of my 4 computers in my network. It was 2018-07 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1803 (KB4338819) - OS Build 17134.165.

As soon as it rebooted, I lost access to one of the computers in the network. I can still access the shared folders of the others, but not the shared folders of one of them ("officeserver").

The other computers can still access officeserver.

I have tried everything I can think of: making sure all the right services are running and automatic (Computer Browser, Workstation, SSDP Discovery, etc.), making sure the folders on officeserver are shared to Everyone, various ipconfig commands and resets, etc.

This morning I could access officeserver, now I can't.

I just can't figure out what to do next.

Thanks for any help!

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!
