Windows 10: Explorer.exe crashing repeatedly when trying to access shared drives on network due to...

Hello, I've recently ran into an issue on a team members machine that is running into this issue when trying to access their shared drives or anything in the file explorer really.


Below is a link to two dump files I have for the error, if you need anymore just let me know. I'll be able to update with the full event viewer error message shortly. Any ideas on what I should do?

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.

 

KB3185614 Not allowing Network Shared Drive Access

Hi Nivay,

To address your concern, we would like you to check the following:

• After updating, check your Network profile under Network and Sharing Center, make sure that it is set to Private and not Public.
  
• If you are using a third party antivirus software, make sure that the
  Network drive is set to Trusted.
• Ping the network drive and check if you're getting a reply.
• Access the network drive through it's IP address via run field and not through the existing shortcut, then check if it is accessible.
• If the network drive is accessible via IP address, we would suggest you to re-map the network drive and delete the previous one that has the red X mark.

Thank you.

 

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!
