Windows 10: I use my Windows 11 Laptop for work from home. I have a Work User ID for my EDT working...

Why is it Windows 11 will not allow me to set up multiple system times? In all of Microsoft's greatness and what I thought was wisdom until now is there no feature to account for people who work from home and might have working hours in a time zone outside their home. I have to make sure my emails and chats in Teams are properly time stamped. I have a Work log in which is customized with all my apps, and browsers to open and log me in set up under EDT so I have accurate time stamps on all my Teams messages and email, but it will not allow me to keep a local MDT time and date on my personal l

Windows 11 Network Sharing Not working

Thank you Raniel V. … Your suggestion worked.



A clean boot was not required. Just checking the feature "SMB 1.O/CIFS File Sharing Support" as suggested by you, turning off password protect sharing” and rebooting works.



I have a few observations:

1. It does not work if I check “Turn off password protected sharing” under All Networks.
   
2. It works after I check “Turn on password protect sharing”. However it asks for credentials and after I provide the credentials it works.
   
3. Is there any way “I turn off password protect sharing” and still make it work? The minute I check this box, I go back to my original message where it says “Network error. Windows cannot access \\CHANDRA
   

A note on the credentials on my \\CHANDRA laptop with Windows 11. It took me a while for me to figure out the username and password to be used from \\MADHIRAS laptop (Windows 10) while accessing the \\CHANDRA laptop over the network. It uses the user name under C:\Users which in my case was “CHAND”. When I login to the CHANDRA laptop it does not show “CHAND” as user name instead it shows “Chandra Madhira” and when I provide my Microsoft account password it allows me to access my laptop.

Could you throw some light on why user id is truncated to CHAND? Or is there a way I change the user id to a more meaningful one like say “Chandra” or something like that. Am I supposed to do that on the Microsoft web site? I have been a long time user of Windows Vista and only in 2020 I got into Windows 10 and now in 2022 Windows 11. In vista we had an account locally stored on the laptop. However from Windows 10 onwards I find some integration of laptop accounts with Microsoft accounts. Things got complicated with Windows Hello feature in Windows 11 and the PIN it comes with.



Anyway, thank you once again for your help. It would help me get a better understanding of Accounts in Windows 11 if I can get answers to my above questions. Please do so only if you have the time. My issue is solved to a large extent and so the above info would be nice to have and not mandatory.



Sincerely,

Chandra Madhira
