    Problem sharing files and Network Credentials error

    Hi, networking in Win 10 is frustrating to set up and requires multiple steps- you are far from alone in reporting issues. Indeed, even when it is correctly configured people have found it needs 'help' so when you boot up or resume a PC, networking is re-established in a reasonable time.

    From the Tutorial section (do take time to become familiar with this fantastic resource):
    Ten Forums - Tutorials

    Here's the starting point for setting it up:
    Share Files and Folders Over a Network in Windows 10

    Note that related tutorials are always listed after the main body of the text.

    The comments following may help you assess some of the issues you've encountered.

    Note you can back up and restore shares and permissions, but I've not seen a way to reset them:
    Backup and Restore Network Shares and Permissions in Windows

    It may be. As you might guess, it means the link is broken/not valid/temporarily not available.

    This will be how you created your mapped drive:
    Map Network Drive in Windows 10
    (I find the title confusing, as it's really mapping a networked folder...)
    Z: simply points to a folder on another PC on your network. The x will disappear when networking is established.

    Password/credentials expired: a search for
    windows netorking password expired
    may help. This reviews this issue:

    Mapped Drive not remembering server credentials

    Hi Jesse,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    You may refer the article Map a network drive to know about the steps
    involved while mapping the drive.



    You may also refer the article Network
    access: Do not allow storage of passwords and credentials for network authentication     for more information.





    The issue is better suited to be posted on IT
    Pro TechNet forums    , who are equipped with the better suggestions to fix the issue.





    Hope it helps.

    Windows Network Credentials

    Hi Keith,

    We suggest that you disable Credential Manager before mapping your Drives. Please follow these steps to disable Credential Manager:

    • In the search box type “Services”
    • Right click on “Services” and select “Run as Administrator”
    • In the Services Window, look for Credential Manager Service and click “Stop”.
    • Restart the computer and go back the Credential Manager Service and set it to “Automatic”.
    • Restart the computer again.

    Please keep us updated if you were able to map your drives.
