    Why from win10 it ask me password for shared folders?


    Hi.
    I have 3 pc 2 with win7 sp1 and one with win10.

    At every pc i have create some shared folders and i have choose the switch "everyone" so i can go into these folders without any password at all.

    So why at every win7 pc or android device i can go to any shared folder without asking me any password and when i try to go to these win7 shared folders from win10 pc it ask me passwords?

    And the reverse from the win10 shared folder i can use it without password from any pc or android system.

    :)

    What means "We need to fix your Microsoft account"??

    I finally clicked on the alert. It brought up Settings-->Shared experiences

    which has Share across devices set to Off.

    Then a popup asking me for the password to one of my Microsoft accounts -- the one I use mostly on Windows 8 phones.

    Why is it asking me for a Microsoft account password when shared experiences is set to off?

  3. Why does my Win JR phone ask me for my password?

    Reply to First answer:

    The password should consist of about 5 numbers, no letters. It must match the numbers on the phone.

    If the numbers are wrong, the phone wipes them off and tells you when to try again. Every time it tells you to try again, it doubles the wait time in minutes. The current wait time is 512 minutes.

    It resets the date and time to when I first bought it which was in February.

    I can receive calls, but I cannot call out, except emergency numbers.

    The problem started when the phone was in front of my computer, and the internet service provider turned the internet back on.

    Why from win10 it ask me password for shared folders?

    It depends on if a folder is truly shared or not.

    What do you mean by truly shared??
    Of course it is because from any other pc or android device i see these shared folders normally and i can explore them but ONLY from win10 pc it ask me password to access to these win7 shared folders.

    So the shared folders is truly shared.

    When you connect by default it passes you logged username and password while win7 you may be Fred with 10 it's likely your an email address which it doesn't understand as well as the share NTFS permissions must be set

    Ntfs is all the hdd at all windows 7 & 10.

    And why ONLY at win10pc(Not at android device or any other win7 pc) when i try to connect to any win7 shared folders it asked me password?
    Even any win7 pc doesn't have password at all. I don't know if it matters but the win10 pc has password to open/log in at windows10.

    Why from win10 it ask me password for shared folders?

    My Windows 10 sometimes shows me "Login/Password" dialogue as I try to access the network shared folder whilst another PC under Windows 7 doesn't and opens the same network folder. I noticed that sometimes I type "Guest" as a login with an empty password and it works.

    Change the shares to public, which is risky in itself and then go into Credentials and delete the credentials. With malware being created smarter every day, it is no longer wise to use non-password protected shares, so you have to enter those in Credential Manager.

    Did you state that at the beginning, the answer would be no. The reason why it is mentioned about not opening your computer to the public, is that anyone that connects to your network can gain access to any files that you may have on it, so it is a huge statement of do not share any public folders, same as do not set your private user directory wide open to everyone else that can be on your network.

    Security only works if the person who is doing it, is well aware of the consequences.

    Why from win10 it ask me password for shared folders?

    Yes but i tallied you ONE more time.

    How someone connect to my pc without any wifi access? I have disabled all wifi connections at my home pc network so.....

    For one more time i want to every pc at my home connect to other one shared folder WITHOUT any passwords at all.

    Can i do that? This is my question from my first post. And you tallied me about password shared folders e.t.c. I don't care about shared folders with password is so simple.

    • calm down
    • no one generally care about what you want or about your network
    • i have also mixed win 7 win 10 network and it works without password
    If you care about your network take some screenshots of how you configure the networ/shared folders and let us
    understand better what can be the problem.

    Hope this heps.
