Windows 10: How do I disable the 'Enter Network Credentials' screen

Ever since Homegroup was discontinued I have been having network sharing problems. I have a desktop and laptop both cabled to a router. From Explorer/network I cannot see the desktop from the laptop.

But the first problem is how do I disable the "Enter Network Credentials" screen. From both computers it always asks for my user name and password when I double click on a computer in Explorer/network.

I have disabled and turned off "Credential Manager" in Computer Management/Services on both computers but that didn't help. I'm running Windows 10 1909.
