Windows 10: Error 0x80004005 when attempting to access Network share

I have shared folders on my laptop and PC. PC is on Win 10 Pro 1803 Build 17134.407. Laptop is Win 10 Pro 1803 Build 17134.345. Neither can access the shares on the other, trying to access gives Error 0x80004005. The only relevant thing I can find about this error is lack of SMB1 support. Presumably Windows should be using SMB2/3 instead, so I followed the advice in this article to check SMB2 sharing was enabled. On both machines I have run:



Get-SmbServerConfiguration | Select EnableSMB2Protocol

which shows true on both



Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters | ForEach-Object {Get

-ItemProperty $_.pspath}

which shows on the laptop:

EnableAuthenticateUserSharing : 0
ServiceDll : C:\WINDOWS\system32\srvsvc.dll
ServiceDllUnloadOnStop : 1
EnableForcedLogoff : 1
EnableSecuritySignature : 0
NullSessionPipes : {}
RequireSecuritySignature : 0

PSPath : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Service

PSParentPath : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Service

and on the PC:

ServiceDll : C:\WINDOWS\system32\srvsvc.dll

ServiceDllUnloadOnStop : 1
EnableAuthenticateUserSharing : 1

EnableForcedLogoff : 1
EnableSecuritySignature : 0

LmAnnounce : 0

sc.exe qc lanmanworkstation

which shows on both:

[SC] QueryServiceConfig SUCCESS


SERVICE_NAME: lanmanworkstation

START_TYPE : 2 AUTO_START
ERROR_CONTROL : 1 NORMAL
BINARY_PATH_NAME : C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe -k NetworkService -p
LOAD_ORDER_GROUP : NetworkProvider
TAG : 0
DISPLAY_NAME : Workstation
DEPENDENCIES : Bowser

SERVICE_START_NAME : NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService


The only odd thing I can spot is EnableAuthenticateUserSharing : 0 on the laptop, but I assume that if that was causing an issue, it would only affect accessing the laptop from the PC, while I can't access the PC from the laptop either.


Does anyone know how I can fix this?

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!
