Windows 10: Share and Remote win 10 pro PC's won't work, credentials fail

ForgotEverything · May 2, 2021

I have 3 Win 10 Pro PC's that I cannot get to share or work with remote desktop. Always comes back with credentials failed and I have changed my Windows account password multiple times. This did work until I got an additional PC with windows Pro for my security cameras. All are set for remote, private, static IPP's, same host file, SMB client and Server on in Windows features. Trying to file share or Remote desktop won't work and says Credentials failed. I've even added a new admin user on 2 PC's and tried to connect with their credentials. I've tried suggestions with policies, etc. Nothing wo

Win 10 PC accessing a Win 10 Everyone share prompted for credentials

I have a new Windows 10 Home computer and I've selected a folder and shared it. I've added Everyone to the Share Permissions list with Full Control.

I've selected "Turn off password protected sharing" in the Advance Sharing Center.

When I try to access the share with a Windows 7 laptop in the home it connects right away without a prompt for credentials. When I try to access the share from another Windows 10 device (Surface) there is a prompt for credentials and I am unable to access the shared folder. There are no common account names between machines on my home network.

On the Windows 10 machine which is trying to connect I have run Net use * /DELETE and removed all Windows Credentials using the Credentials Manager then rebooted both machines a few times. Still though the Windows 7 machine can access the share with no credentials and the Windows 10 machine can't access it at all.

My goal is to get the share working for the Windows 10 machine as it works for the Windows 7. Full access, no prompt for credentials. I've workaround steps that will provide access so that type of information isn't needed.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post and any help would be most appreciated.
