Windows 10: Can't access shared folders on Win11 PC from other Win 10 PC's

I have one Windows 11 PC and two Windows 10 PC's on a home network and can access all files from the Win11 into the Win10 devices but get error "you do not have permission to access shared directories trying to access the Win11 device from the others. All shares are full control for Everyone and tried mapped drive with IP address and using other credentials with Win 11 user and pin but same error. The shared folders appear on explorer but are not accessible. I can access "Users" directory

Win 7 PC can't see shared folder of Win 10 PC

I have small home network. The Home Group sharing capabilities are working both ways.

For some reason the Win 10 PC do not appear in the network list in my Win 7 PC, while the Win 7 PC do appear in the Win 10 network list (and can access it's shared folders).

Any ideas?

Thanks,

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
