  1. Why is the share button grey


    So ive been trying to share the game file to my friend under private local network, and i have all the switchs on the advanced sharing settings turned on except password protected sharing. My friend can see my computer and the folder I shared, but when he tries to access the shared folder it says cannot access, network path not foundAnd i have tried to add my friend in the permission in the advance, it only allows me to add local users

    :)

  3. Share button is gray in Windows 10

    Hi,

    I do appreciate your efforts and time, and will assist you with the issue.


    • Are you trying to share from an Admin account? Because the share option might be greyed out due to administrative privileges.

    Method 1

    I suggest you to try the steps provided below and check if it helps.


    • Type This PC in the search bar and hit enter.

    • Right click on a drive you want to share.

    • Select share with.

    • Select Advanced sharing.

    • Check the box share this folder and click on permissions.

    • Set permissions according to you and click on
      apply and ok.

    If the issue still prissiest, try Method 2,

    Method 2


    • Open an elevated command prompt. (Right click on start button and select command prompt admin)

    • Type takeown /U %username% /F %USERPROFILE% /R /SKIPSL (You may also need the /P <password>

    • Once that completes type cacls %USERPROFILE% /T /E /G %USERNAME%:F

    This should force you to be the owner of everything in your profile and grant you full access.

    Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.
