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):
https://www.tenforums.com/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:

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
