Network Sharing prompts for password (Password protected sharing turned off) - Windows 10

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



As you’ve already turned off password protected sharing, this issue could be due to the incorrect cached credentials stored on the PC. I suggest you to try the steps listed below and check if it works.

• Open Control Panel and categorize to view by
  small icons.
  
• Click on User Accounts and choose your
  User Name.
  
• On the left pane, click on Manage your credentials.
  Under Windows Credentials, remove the shared computer credentials and save the changes.
  
• Exit Control Panel and restart the machine to see if the issue persists.
  

Let us know how it goes.

Regards,

 

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.

• 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
