    Trouble reconnecting to shares after upgrading from 1909 to 20H2


    I have a W10 Pro desktop that I just upgraded from 1909 to 20H2 and now I can't connect to my shares from my Lenovo or Dell laptops. The Lenovo already has 20H2. The Dell had 1909 which I just upgraded to 20H2. The desktop with the shares has the netplwiz option "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" checked and there is NO password so the pc does not require a logon on boot. The shares were originally connected years ago with the net use command and persistence and I have never had a problem. I don't remember how I did it with no password. Now that I have lost connectivity I can't reconnect because of account restrictions, probably no password. I don't want to logon to this pc everytime I boot; just want to boot into W10. If I create a password with the Accounts-Sign-In Options will I have the option to choose NEVER login? That will give me the password for reconnecting to the shares with net use. Is there no way to connect to a share without a password? Network is Private and I have Password Protected sharing turned on for all networks. Thanks!

    :)

    Trouble reconnecting to shares after upgrading from 1909 to 20H2

    Odd, I've not had such problems. As a test I've just thrown together the most eclectic collection of machines I could easily put together (Win7, 1809, 1909 and several 20H2). They could all see and connect to each other....

    Trouble reconnecting to shares after upgrading from 1909 to 20H2

    Unfortunately MS has messed networking up in 20H2. I've just recently upgraded this PC from 1903, and now it can't 'see' my other PC, still on 1903. The other way round is fine.

    See e.g. post #23
    Network computers not showing after 20H2 update

    Interesting checks and guide:
    Network Computers are not Showing Up in Windows 10 | Windows OS Hub

    Logging on to a particular account automatically with no login is possible- tutorial available.
