Windows 10: Network share ignores password protected sharing

I am trying to make a shared folder on my network that is only accessible to me and cannot be viewed by other users.When I create the share, no matter how I set permissions, the folder becomes accessible to everyone on the network. This is the case whether I use a homegroup or no homegroup, password protected sharing off or on. In fact, the only way to not have everyone able to access the share is to manually add a deny permission to Everyone.... and this of course results in nobody being able to access the share.

I am running Windows 10 Education. I have another PC running Windows 10 Home that works correctly with password protected sharing enabled.

:)

 

How do I remove the network credentials password from Windows 10.

You need to Turn off password protected sharing on the remote computer.

Open Start > Settings > Network & Internet > Status

Scroll to the bottom

Click Network and Sharing Center

Click Change advanced sharing settings

Expand All Networks

Under Password protected sharing

Switch between 'Turn on password protected sharing and Turn off password protected sharing'

Then choose 'Turn off password protected sharing'

Then click 'Save changes'
