Windows 10: Open folder - the specified server cannot perform the requested operation

Hello,since updating to Windows 11 24H2, I'm unable to browser a specific NAS.The connection is established correctly, confirmed by "net use" and can also be mapped using "Map Network Drive" feature.However when trying to browse and folder on the storage I get the error: "the specified server cannot perform the requested operation"The storage is using SMBv2 and authentication. I can access it from other machines without Win11 24H2 without any problem Other Win11, Win10, Mac OSXAny help would be appreciated in solving or troubleshooting thisThank you in advance

:)

 

The specified server cannot perform the requested operation.

We have a couple of work stations that cannot map to a local file storage server. Most other computers have no problems.

Getting the error:

"The mapped network drive could not be created because the following error has occurred:

The specified server cannot perform the requested operation."

These same computers that cannot map to this drive have not problems reaching network printers, etc. Just seems to be this one server.

We've tried everything we know to do. How do we fix this?

 

Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation


axe,

Before I retire for the morning and before I forget:
- a few sites suggest running SFC in Safe mode to resolve the Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation issue.

It doesn't seem as though that would make a difference, but it is easy enough to try.

skeetz,

The install.wim file should be in the sources folder on the thumbdrive you created.




Rather than try and find it, please download a fresh ISO from Techbench

Scroll down to the ISO download section






- make sure that you select the drop down picks that match your system
Your system specs are sparse I can't tell

Edition: Windows 10 (probably)
Language: English (possibly)
[ 32-bit Download ]
??? --- or --- ???
[ 64-bit Download ]

Press the correct bit-depth button to start the download

When it finishes downloading, just mount it (double click)

look in the sources folder to make sure you see an install.wim file

If you don't see it, select all in the File Explorer window,
Select Copy Path on the Home menu (ribbon)
Then past the copy into a post.

No rush skeetz ... axe might want to continue with things in already motion ... I'll defer to him
I'm hitting the hay - it's 05:30 here

Thanks all.

 

Error: The Group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation RuntimeBroker.exe

Hi Jay,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you get an error, “The Group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation” when you try to open Settings.



I would suggest you to refer the troubleshooting steps mentioned below:



Method 1: SFC Scan



I suggest you to try running the System File Checker to repair the corrupted Windows components. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Type command prompt in the search bar on the
   Taskbar.
   
2. Right click on the command prompt icon and select
   Run as administrator.
   
3. Paste in the following command and hit Enter:
   
   sfc /scannow
   
4. Restart the computer.
   

For more information, see
Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files.



Method 2: Re-register Settings app



Since you are receiving the error when opening Settings, I would suggest you to try re-registering Settings application and check. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows Logo key + X, and select
   Windows PowerShell (Admin).
   
2. Now, paste the following command and hit Enter:
   Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name windows.immersivecontrolpanel | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml” -Verbose}
   
3. Restart the computer.
   

Method 3: Reset Windows Update Components



I would suggest you to manually reset Windows Update Components and then check for updates. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Type command prompt in the search bar on the
   Taskbar.
   
2. Right click on the command prompt icon and select
   Run as administrator.
   
3. Paste the following commands one by one and hit
   Enter:
   

• net stop wuauserv
  
• net stop cryptSvc
  
• net stop bits
  
• net stop msiserver
  
• ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
  
  
• ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old
  
  
• net start wuauserv
  
• net start cryptSvc
  
• net start bits
  
• net start msiserver
  

Restart the computer and check for updates.



You may also want to check if the issue persists in new user account. Refer the article
Create
a local user or administrator account in Windows 10.



Let us know how it goes.
