Windows 10: Enter Network Password window keeps popping up

I keep getting the window 'Enter Network Password' popping up and even when I enter the password and tick to remember it will reappear later.


I am running Outlook 2007.


I have already searched for a fix and completed:-


Control Panel / Network and Internet / Network and Sharing Center / Change advanced settings


Under all settings I have set Turn Off Password protected sharing.

Saved and rebooted but it still occurs.


Is there any way to disable this pop up?

Enter Network Password Keeps Popping Up

I am not using any anti-virus - just Microsoft Security Essentials.

I get the message to enter network password when I click on the File Explorer icon and go down to Network. There I see all three computers. When I'm on either Windows 7 computer and try to access the Windows 10 computer, that message box appears.

When I'm on the Windows 10 computer and try to access either Windows 7 computer, both come up on the list under Network, but when I click on either, then on Users, the actual user account for that computer does not appear.

This all worked prior to installing Windows 10. My goal is to be able to access files from any of the three computers to any other one. If there is an alternate way to do this. I'm open to suggestions.

 

How can I find the password for my Windows 10 laptop?

I found a solution to my problem. What I did was:

1. Open Network & Sharing Center on the laptop.
2. Click "Change advanced sharing settings"
3. Expand the "All Networks" item.
4. Change "Password protected sharing" from On to Off.

Now when I click my laptop name in File Explorer > Networks, it just shows my shared folder without asking for a network credentials password. This is how it used to work before.

Hope this helps others,

 

Enter Network Credentials !
