    Network Credentials


    Can anyone tell me why my new Windows 11 computer is asking for "network credentials"? When I try to access a shared folder from another computer, it presents me with a login screen and asks for my login ID and password. I purposely never set "credentials" on this computer, to avoid this very problem. Could it by any chance be asking for my Microsoft Account credentials? Nope, I tried those, and I get the same error : \\[COMPUTER NAME] is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this resource, Contact the Administrator, blah blah blah. Now, why would I not have permission to

    :)

    Network Credentials

    Hi Sammy,

    To assist you better regarding your concern with network credentials, have you checked the Windows credentials for any information about the username and password for the network credentials? If not yet, follow the steps below to access Windows Credentials
    manager.

    • Press the Windows icon on the desktop.
    • Type in Windows Credentials.
    We would appreciate as well if you could provide us a screenshot.

    Let us know how it goes.

    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.
