    Having trouble connecting an external shared drive to my new Windows 11 laptop.


    I get the following message when I try to connect to my router or shared external drive. Is there a setting I'm missing? I tried pasting the message below but it gave me an error message so I just typed it in.You can't access this shared folder because your organization's security policies block unauthenticated guest access. These policies help protect your PC from unsafe and malicious devices in the network.I am on a home network. I have a Lenovo Think Pad E16 Gen 2. I am running MS Office for Home.I have a TP-link AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 router I had to replace a Netge
