Windows 10: How to deny access to a device on "Network" on windows 10

Hi,

I'm an admin in my organization and I connected our wrong NAS drive (device) to an employee's laptop that they shouldn't have access to. The fact that the device is visible is not a problem. The trouble is that when you click the device it asks an access code, which employees don't have. I used my admin code to sign in and try out the device (I need to add it to other computers with access) without realizing I can't undo it. So now it's not only visible but gives an access to that device. So how do I cancel that sign in?

Some steps that I have tried:

1. I have removed the device from Settings->Devices->Bluetooth & other devices and it's no longer in that device list.
2. I've also reset the network (wifi) but the access remains open under Network.
3. I tried rebooting the device without a success
4. I checked the saved credentials with rundll32 keymgr.dll,KRShowKeyMgr and control keymgr.dll but in neither of the cases the NAS device login was listed (the latter command listed virtualapp/didlogical and SSO_POP_Device under Generic Credentials which I think neither are NAS related.)

Some notes:

1. It's not a mapped device so disconnecting it won't work (there are no options for that when right-clicked).
2. It's also not listed in Device Manager->Software devices, where the other NAS, the right one is listed.

Can anyone help?

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
