Windows 10: Network Credentials - New Twist

I have a home network with 6 machines, each of which has shared resources. All are running Win10 Pro Version 2004.

5 machines work just fine, but 1 machine, aka Hum, has a peculiar behavior.

Problem #1: When I first logon to Hum, I can access any shared resource on the entire network without entering any credentials - also, none are stored in Credential Manager. However, after a number of minutes, I am required to provide network credentials to access a share. The credentials are captured by Credential Manager & appear correct.
My question - What is happening to cause a need for credentials after several minutes?

Problem #2: If I logoff or reboot the machine all entries in Credential Manager are lost so I am back to problem #1.
My question - Why is Credential Manager loosing the credentials?

Additional info: The above behavior is only for 1 user account. I have another user account on Hum which works
just fine. Both accounts are set up identical as far as I am able to determine. Clearly there is something about the 1 account that is weird, but what?

Any help will be much appreciated.

TIA, Joe
