Windows 10: Error Code 0x80004005 When Accessing Shared Folder

Hi, I'm experiencing Error Code 0x80004005 when attempting to access a shared folder on my Windows 11 PC. This folder is hosted on another computer in the network, and I've previously had no issues accessing it. I've checked the sharing settings and permissions, but I still encounter this error. Can someone assist me in resolving this access issue?

Windows 10 - Homegroup - Cannot share Folders or files + Error 0x80004005 (renaming of folders)

Thanks for getting back, Sanjiv. It seems that the users were not configured to have full control of those folders you want to share. We suggest going into the Advanced settings of your File Explorer and adjust the permissions. Follow these steps:

• Open File Explorer.
• Locate the folder you want to have full access.
• Right-click it and select Properties.
• Click the Security tab.
• Click Edit to change the permissions.

Once done, try sharing the folders again.

Let us know how it goes.

Regards.
