Windows 10: File Explorer>Network - Enter network credentials

I am trying to send a very large file on my desktop over my network to my laptop.Both my Accounts on my Desktop and Laptop use my Outlook account as the login.When I try to access either computers the Windows Security Pop-up says to Enter network Credentials.I try entering my usernameemail and password, it responds that they are incorrect. I believe this is due to it using my outlook account Windows security is looking for a username and password that is not my Email and password.I enter my exact email and that emails password.Username: *** Email address is removed for privacy ***: ********I enter everything

Asking to enter network credentials when access files on network

Hi Steve,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that after an update, you get a prompt to enter network credentials to access files over network. I’ll certainly help you with the issue.



Ideally, if you have never used credentials to access files over network, you may want to check the network settings and see if Password protected sharing is turned off. To do this, refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Go to control panel > Click on
   network and internet > Click on network and sharing.
   
2. Click on Change advance sharing settings
   on the left pane.
   
3. Turn off password protected sharing.
   
4. Click on Save changes
   

Let us know how it goes.
