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!

 

shared printing

Hi,

To better manage this thread about the shared printer, we’d like to know if the issue persists. If yes, we suggest that you
uninstall the printer driver and reconfigure the printer by adding it again on your PC. This process will re-establish the good working state of the device and eliminate software conflict. To do this you may follow the steps below:

To uninstall the driver of the printer from the Device Manager of your computer, you may proceed with the steps below:

• Click Start, type Device Manager, and then press
  Enter.
• Locate the printer driver, double-click on the device to open its properties.
• On the Driver tab, click Uninstall, and then follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.

Once you’re done, the other way of installing the printer on your Windows 10 PC is to add the printer through the settings. To do this, you may follow the steps provided on this
link. Once you’re on the page, you may proceed with the steps, and then complete the process. After completing the given steps, you
may check if you’re able to add the printer to your PC properly.

Let us know if you need further assistance.

 

Cannot access shared network drive


Personally, I wouldnt use Everyone. If anyone hacks into you, they have full access to everything and can demolish everything on your raid. I would rather set up accounts and access separately for each person. That way, I know who did all that damage. In the end with a little extra work, I feel more secure by using Authenticated Users.


If this helps.
step 1 create non-microsoft account and without email and address without admin rights
step 2 share a drive or folder to specific user account (if Everyone is listed, remove it)
step 3 set security > add Authenticated Users (if more than 1 account) or add specific users
step 3a remove Everyone from list
step 3b uncheck full control and write for all items listed except SYSTEM and Admin account.
step 4 right click Start > Computer Management > System Tools > Shared Folders > Shares ... to verify settings and change anything else. You can also see the number of connections to each share here.
