  1. I can't share files between two identical windows 10 setups on a local network


    I have two computers in my house on a local network, both of them are running fresh installs of Windows 10 version 1903. Both of them have password protected sharing turned OFF, both of them have network discovery turned ON, both of them have file and printer sharing turned ON, both of them are logged into Windows with the same Microsoft account, both of them are admin, both of the drives I'm trying to share have sharing turned on to all users in drive properties sharing section.


    On one of the computers I can go into my other drive with no problems and take files off of it, on the other if I try this it asks for a password, my microsoft credentials do not work when I type them in, and nothing happens whatsoever.


    What could possibly be going wrong?

    :)

    W10 Sharing on LAN -- Need to REFRESH Network to access shares


    I still think this must be a setting and so re-installing Win10 won't fix. Before you reinstall, I suggest that you create a new Workgroup and see if that works. (Choose Work in the Wizard, not home)

    Good luck... I can't share files between two identical windows 10 setups on a local network :)
