Windows 10: How do I set shares using Ms Account - Works fine when LOCAL account

Same problem here, shares works with local acount. My tab and Linux boxes can access W10 but with a MS account I can't connect! I have build 10162.
EDIT! At last I got my Samsung Galaxy tab to see my W10 computer when logged in at my Hotmail account:
I used my local username AND my Hotmail password!
Also connecting from a Linux box (Raspberry Pi) works.

 

Sad to say, my problem with failure to access shares on my main comp has not been fixed by 10240. All is exactly the same with the 80070035 error.

The REALLY frustrating thing is I just don't know any way to try to diagnose where the problem lies. Windows network diag says it can't find anything - surprise there!

Can't really say I expected a fix but I am still frustrated. Maybe it takes a clean install to do the trick?

 

Installing build 10240 now. Will see how things stand after that.

 

Well, maybe. Couldn't see win 8.1 shares from Win 10 initially. Clicked refresh and took about 30 seconds now I can see all 3 computers.

Can also see all 3 computer from my Desktop finally.

Maybe they fixed something or the phase of the moon is better or the wind is from the NNE ...

 

Fingers crossed for it to last!

 

Just checked again tonight and I can see all 3 computers from all 3 computers.

 

Can you see all the shares? Mine can see all computers but the shares can't be seen on my main one.

 

10240 + 'security' update hasn't helped my problem with this one machine.

 

Was having the same problem with 10240 and older builds.

Still does not work when I use the pin to login, but if I use my password for the ms account to login, I can now access my other windows 7 and windows 8.1 systems in the house.

I added my ms account id as a local account to my non windows 10 pc's, and hid the account in the registry so it would not show on the login on those pc's. Now I can see and access all my windows 7 and windows 8.1 pc's from my windows 10 system.

Use this to hide the account from login screen on the non windows 10 pc's.

change "msaccount@whatever" to your ms account.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList]
"msaccount@whatever"=dword:00000000

 

After pulling my hair out for hours, I finally had a breakthrough that solved the problem for me. We have 4 different brands of PCs, all recently upgraded to Windows 10 Home. Other than file sharing, I found the Windows 10 upgrades went smoothly. I have a Microsoft Account and my wife has a different Microsoft Account. She primarily uses 2 of the PCs and I generally use the other 2 so initially I didn't have both of us authorized to use all 4 PCs. We do however need to use file sharing across all 4. After Windows 10, sharing was completely hosed - some connections mysteriously worked and some didn't. First I turned off password protected sharing on all 4 PCs as other threads have mentioned (Network & Sharing Center / Advanced Sharing Settings / All Networks / Turn password protected sharing OFF). Then I made sure that all 4 PCs had IDENTICAL log on accounts. Each PC now has a LOCAL account called ADMIN with Administrator privileges AND 2 Microsoft Accounts (my MS account and my wife's MS account) without Administrator privileges. The key seems to be having IDENTICAL log ons authorized on each of the 4 PCs. As soon as I did it, all of the file sharing problems cleared up instantly. Important thing seems to be that all networked PCs must have the same accounts with the same user names and passwords (i.e. ADMIN log on identical on each PC, my MS Acct log on identical on each PC, and my wife's identical on each PC). This shouldn't be required, but for some reason it works. Hope this helps.

 

Setting identical accounts shouldn't be required and, indeed, aren't required.

But at least you have a working solution for your network!
