Windows 10: How do I get Windows 11 and Windows10 computers to network so that the Win 11 computer can...

I have a Win 11 computerRONS4 networked with a Win 10 computerRONS3. The Win 10 computer can see files on the Win 11 computer and can manipulate them. But the Win 11 computer cannot see the files on the Win 10 computer. The error message is: "Network error. Windows cannot access \\Rons3. You do not have permission to access \\RONS3. How to fix this? I have tried several proposed solutions but they don't work. Notably looking at permissions and including "everyone" in all the suggested places.

Network between Win 10 and Win 11 computers

Some help, please. With respect to Win 10 to Win 11 machine, I've tried all of the suggestions shown here: Enter network credentials error on Windows 11/10 [Fixed] (thewindowsclub.com)

 

Win 11 computers cannot network but Win 10 can

I have 3 desktop computers that I need on my home network. Initially, Computer 1 has Win 10 Pro, Computer 2 has Win 10 Pro, and Computer 3 has Win 11 Pro. All three talked to each other, shared files etc.

I then upgraded Computer 2 to Win 11 Pro.

Now, Computer 1 (Win 10) can communicate with Computer’s 2 (Win 11 Pro) and 3 (Win 11 Pro) and Computer’s 2 and 3 can also communicate with Computer 1, but I cannot get Computer’s 2 and 3 (Both Win 11 Pro) to communicate. The only change made was the upgrade on Computer 2 so it’s likely the problem.

I have tried everything I can find to try:

1. Clear all credentials from Credential Manager
   
2. Disable Credential Manager Service automatic Startup
   
3. Turn off password-protected sharing
   
4. Modify Local Security Policy
   
5. Add the credentials in Credentials Manager
   
6. Set IP address to automatic
   
7. Change Network Profile to Private
   
8. SMB Direct checked
   
9. SMB 1.0/CIFS Client checked
   
10. All three boxes checked under SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support checked and unchecked
    

Most procedures are repeated on most web sites and I still get the Credential required screen.

I’m considering reverting back to Win 10 Pro on computer 2 as a last resort.

 

Network between Win 10 and Win 11 computers

I had 2 Win 10 computers that talked to each other fine. Through Windows Explorer I was able to see and manipulate files one the other.

Now that one of the computers is Win 11, I can't see the other either direction. The target folders are all shared with full control permission.

When Win 11 looks for Win 10 I get a "can't access location" error. When Win 10 looks for Win 11, I get a log I'm requirement looking for ID an PW. (FWIW, my Win 11 computer makes me enter a PIN when I log in. I'd love to bypass that but can't figure how.)

Also FWIW, I've shut off firewall to see if Win 11 can reach Win 10 but still "can't access".

Suggestions?

Thanks.
