    Windows 10 wants password to access shared computer - Shared computer requires no password

    PC "A" is set to share with no password requirement. PC "A" also has a printer that is set to share on network. Other PCs on network can access computer "A" and print to computer "A" printer.

    New Windows 10 PC, "B" can't access "A". Computer "B" asks for password when you attempt to access computer "A".

    Computer "B" can't see the shared printer on Computer "A". Two other PCs on this network can access computer "A" and use Computer "A" shared printer.
