Windows 10: Trying to connect to a shared folder - Access Denied

I have a Workstation with a shared folder and 4 other machines that I need them to access that shared folder. They are all the same machine configured the same way with the same IDs and passwords. 3 of the machines connected fine, but one is getting an access denied message when trying to connect. Everything is the same as the other ones connected. They are all Windows 10 Pro. Just to clarify, it wasn't the last machine that didn't connect. I actually added a 5th machine recently to connect to the shared folder and it connected with no problems. I have verified a few times that it is the same ID and same password. Any ideas?

?? How do I PW protect Folders in windows

Sharing files and folders overview You can share the files and folders stored on your computer, on a network, and on the Web. The method you choose depends on whom you want to share files with, and what computer they will use to access the files.

When you share files or folders, they are not as protected as they are when you do not share them. People with access to your computer or your network might be able to read, copy, or change files that are in a shared folder. You should always be aware that the files and folders that you share are available to other people and be sure to monitor your shared files and folders on a regular basis.

Important

If your computer is not joined to a domain, you can use the Network Setup Wizard to automatically turn file and printer sharing on or off. To start the Network Setup Wizard, click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Network Setup Wizard.
If you both use the same computer

You can put the files you want to share in the Shared Documents folder. Files stored in the Shared Documents folder or its subfolders are always available to other users on your computer.

Step-by-step procedure
Note

If you are connected to a network domain, the Shared Documents, Shared Pictures, and Shared Music folders are not available.
If both computers are on the same network

You can share a folder or drive on your computer with others on the network. You can also control whether the files in the shared folder can be modified by other users.

If your computer is connected to a network domain, use this procedure:

Step-by-step procedure
Note

If you are connected to a network domain, you will need to set the Access control for the folder or drive after sharing it. For more information, go to To set, view, change, or remove file and folder permissions.
If you want to share your files online

You can publish pictures and documents on the Web using the Web Publishing Wizard. The files will be stored in a private, online folder that you manage.

Step-by-step procedure

If you don't want others to access your files

You can prevent other users from accessing your folders and the files they contain. When your computer is connected to a domain, this is called setting permissions for your file or folder. When your computer is connected to a workgroup, this is called making your folders private.

If your computer is connected to a network domain, use this procedure:

If your computer is connected to a workgroup, use this procedure:

"Access Denied" message on trying to access network shared folders

Hello Everyone,

Have a situation, would appreciate your valuable support and answer on this.

I have a small office environment with a Windows Server 2012 Standard edition in place along with 6 Windows PCs connected to a basic network system, wherein which non of the clients are connected to the server via active directory but work as individual
workstations. The dhcp and dns is provided by the router itself.

Now the Server has a tally server software running, along with the clients running the tally client software on their systems respectively.

We have a couple of folders on the server that needs to be shared on the network in order for the client PCs to be able to access these folders for the tally to work properly.

The server already has active directory installed on it with some users created for that domain, now the necessary users have been given full privileges to access these shared folders.

However, when we type in the \\ and server IP to access these shared folder we get an login page, then when typing that full privilege user's name and password, we get the access denied message, which happens to occur via my network places, etc. But for
some reason depending on the moment or time, the PC suddenly can access these shared folders via my network places and can be mapped after typing in the username and password, so then tally works.

Although typing in the server IP to access these shared folders never goes in, and says access denied again.(even though we can access those shared folders during that moment)

Now I don't think this is a windows 10 issue, cause its the same problem with other versions of windows as well.

Appreciate if you can help me out.

Thank You
