Windows 10: Network drive sharing issues

Encountering "The network folder specified is currently mapped using a different username and password" when trying to access my HTPC's shared HDD.

However, I can connect to its shared SSD with a few minor issues (unable to access Program Files and similar). Both drives have the same permissions as the shared drives of my main PC, which even lets me access its system folders.

Unlike my main PC, the HTPC doesn't have an account password, though password protected sharing is turned off on both computers so it shouldn't matter, right? What am I missing?

Cannot access shared network drive

I could scream! so much time wasted on this stupid error, as if time is not precious enough!
It probably would work fine if I could see the other computer! But I cannot see the other computer!
