    computer not showing on network when password protected sharing is disabled windows 11


    Hi,As the question states, both my machines' login details is my Microsoft account email and password. When network and sharing is on and I want to access a machine it asks for username and password. If I want this disabled and go to the settings and turn off the password protected sharing it removes the computer from the network and I cannot access the machine.How do I fix this please?

    :)

    How To: Password Protect a Folder in Network?

    Hi all I have a question for you all Networking Expert out there. Im running a small networking at my house. this Network consist of 3 computers : My computer, My sister's and My mom's. My computer act as a Network Harddrive, I share a lot of Files in my computer. Sometimes my sister like to pull over some files from my computer, but there are some folders where i dont like her to open. Im thinking to Password Protect a certain folders, so whenever she or my mom open those certain folders a pop up will show up asking for password (im thinking to password protect because sometimes I need to able to access those folders from either my mom's or sister's computer) Is there anyway to do this? third party Program? all computers in my network running Windows XP.

    Windows 11 disappears from network when password protected sharing is turned off

    I'm trying to share a single folder on my local LAN with no password requirement, which used to be easy to do back on Windows 7 (and I don't really recall doing this during my time using Windows 10), but now on windows 11, whenever I disable password protected file sharing the computer disappears from the network, and other computers get a 0x80070035 when they try to access the shared path. The network is set to private on both computers, and the sharing works perfectly fine if I just turn on password protected file sharing. How can I share a folder publicly on the my LAN?

    Cannot turn off the password protected sharing. The option for password protected sharing is not there

    Hi Ankit,

    Is this the exact process/steps you are using?

    Open Control Panel

    Go to Network and Sharing Center

    Select Change advanced sharing settings in the left pane

    Expand the network you want to disable password protected sharing on by clicking the down arrow on the right of the profile

    Select 'Turn off password protected sharing' and then click Save changes.
