Windows 10: How do I fix the error message "UNABLE TO SHARE YOUR FOLDER"? I am running Windows 11 for...

I am a network admin for a small lawyers office that doesn't have a domain but is sharing files on the same network, I recently installed a new PC onto the network but when I attempt to share a folder I get the error message "unable to share your folder" and there is no explanation of why. The steps below are what I used to turn on sharing and troubleshoot the issue but none have worked to fix the problem. If you have some insights to a solution please let me know, any tips or tricks to a solution are greatly appreciated.Here are the troubleshooting steps that I performed:1. From Folder sharin

Win 7 Pro: Unable to share drives: error 0x00000154

Windows 7 Pro sp1 x64 using the hidden admin account (super admin)

When I try to enable sharing of partitions (drives. not folders) I get this error. I tried it on different drive letters, but the same thing. I searched for this using the error message but no meaningful results came up.

I'm using the "Workgroup" setting, not Homegroup.

What services and/or components would be involved? I believe something is missing, though the list in "Service's" is what normally is running.

What does the "154" refer to

 

Can't share printer—getting error message

Step 1: Go to store.
Step 2: Buy a less shitty printer.
Step 3: Pick up some beer while you are there.
Step 4: Enjoy both your new printer and your beer.

In all seriousness, I have had more issues with Lexmark printers and their shitty drivers then any other manufacturer, HP is a close second though.

However, if you don't want to get a new printer*Laugh :laugh:, and I can understand that, when my Lexmark was giving me the same troubles in Win7(and Vista) I had to make sure the Windows firewall was ON and the firewall service was enabled and running. After I shared it I could re-disable the firewall and firewall services.
