    Cannot turn off the password protected sharing. The option for password protected sharing is not there

    Hi Ankit,

    Is this the exact process/steps you are using?

    Open Control Panel

    Go to Network and Sharing Center

    Select Change advanced sharing settings in the left pane

    Expand the network you want to disable password protected sharing on by clicking the down arrow on the right of the profile

    Select 'Turn off password protected sharing' and then click Save changes.

    Turn on password protected sharing over Network sharing.

    Sharing a folder still asking to enter password even after disabling turn off password protecting sharing in Windows 10

    Old title: Sharing is not working

    Dear Microsoft

    I have a basic question about the networking. I have two computer and i want to share the folder named "games" using the lan. I connect both computer (computer_1 and computer_2) in computer 1 i
    shared this folder for everyone to read and write. But the problem is that in the computer_1
    turn off the password protecting but it still requiring the password to access the folder "games". And also there is Microsoft password is not working.

    Means turn off password protecting sharing is not work.

    I want to access this folder in computer_2 without requiring any password for computer_1.

    I used the following process also but it still requiring to enter in the computer_1.

    • private (current profile)
    • Turn on network discovery
    • Turn on file and printing sharing
    • Guest of Public
    • Turn on network discovery
    • Turn on file and printing sharing
    • All Network
    • Turn on sharing so anyone with the network access can read and write file in the public folder
    • Turn off password protecting
