Windows 10: windows 10 network issue asking for credentials

I have just reinstalled windows 10 as I was having issues updating. I am now trying to setup a network. I have setup file sharing etc. my network is private. I have turned on network discovery and I have turned off the pin and the need to sign into windows.when I try to discover a local IP address I get asked for user name and pass, I enter my microsoft credentials and i'm informed they are not correct. Ihave been wrestling with this isseue since yesterday. I would realy appreciate some assistance with this issueTIA

Asking for Network Credentials

Sounds like a 'persistence' issue, i.e. A has the credentials to access B 'stored' with the 'persistent' flag set but B doesn't have the credentials to access A stored persistently (or it's corrupted), hence the request.

Try:

1. Open Credential Manager (in B's Control Panel, i.e. Start > Search > control > Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Credential Manager).
2. Open Windows Credentials (on the right-hand side).
3. Search for (and remove) any credential for A (in case it's corrupt).
4. Use Add a Windows credential to add a new network access credential for A (by entering the network address [e.g. computername], Username and Password then click on the OK button.

If all goes well, when this completes you can open the credential and should see Persistence: Enterprise mentioned underneath the Password field:





Hope this helps...

 

Asking for Network Credentials

Thanks for the response.

The usernames and passwords were already set up like that.

The networking and sharing settings were already as you suggested.

Then you say "After that, set the permissions for those users on each system" and I'm not entirely sure what you mean.

I've just (tediously) tried a repair re-install of Windows 10 and that made no difference either. Actually, it made things worse because the other Windows 10 box on the home network which had limited access to some drives on the target m\c is now being asked for credentials to access it at all.

Other than a complete rebuild, I don't see any other options.

Best wishes.
