  1. K:\ is not accessible, Access denied.


    Hi,I just got a new motherboard, ram, cpu and harddrive. I made a clean install of windows on the new drive. When moving old drives to the "new" computer it went well with all but one drive. Trying to access this drive gets me the error message in the headline. I have tried /takeown which seems to work and afterwards i am now able to see the size of the drive and how much is used/free space on it. I have also used: "CHKDSK" and no errors where found.When trying: "C:\Windows\System32>icacls K:\* /reset /t /c /q /l" i get the message: "K:\WindowsApps\BehaviourInteractive.DeadbyDaylightWindow

    LAPTOP is not accessible ..... Access is denied.

    I am trying to share a folder on a LAPTOP. I have other a number of other systems that have folders Shared and they work fine, but with this one I get the error "LAPTOP is not accessible ..... Access is denied." when I try to access it from a different Win10 system. So I went thru the entire "How to Share Files and Folders Over a Network in Windows 10" tutorial step by step. File and Print Sharing is enabled, SMB1.0 client & server are running, and Everyone has Full Access to the Share. Still get the error. I have tried it with the Network Public and Private, with the same result. Any suggestions ? Microsoft Windows 10 Home Version 10.0.19042 Build 19042

    LAPTOP is not accessible ..... Access is denied.

    SMB 1.0 is not required for sharing between two W10 machines, only for sharing with older systems such as XP. It's unnecessary here, but having it should not cause issues either. Share permissions set to 'Everyone - Full control' is one thing, but the ntfs permissions on the folder being shared also need to be set to allow access. I always turn off Password Protected Sharing on the PC doing the sharing, leaving it on (the default) often causes 'access denied' on trying to connect to the share.
