Windows 10: Windows cannot access \\<computername>

My Surface Pro 3 Windows 10 - all updates can see other computers on the network but cannot connect to their shares, whereas the other computers can connect to the Surface Pro3 shares. Network error says: Windows cannot access \\<computername>. Turning off firewalls and antivirus does not help resolve. I can access the internet without any issues. Thank you in advance.*Not a Surface issue, moved to Windows for trouble shooting*

Windows 10 - Can't access \\computername but can access \\computername\share

Hello,

Since these latest updates/patches came out yesterday, I can no longer access shared folders on \\computername. However, I can access them with \\computer\share. I get the message "You do not have permission to access \\computername. Contact your network
administrator to request access."

Users that have shortcuts to shared folders saved on their desktop can access them fine, but if they have a shortcut to \\computername, or try browsing to \\computername, they get the above message. Trying \\ipaddress makes no difference. Same results.

NOTHING has changed on this computer - only updates installed (automatically). All it does is host shared folders for a few workers. It is running Windows 10 Pro 1809.

Have tried turning off and then back on File and Printer Sharing from Network Sharing Center.

Have tried turning back on Password Protected sharing and then turning it back off again (we have it set to off and this is what we want).

I'm also told that opening small files on shared folders is taking an unreasonable amount of time. We're talking <100kb Excel and Word files. Previously took a few seconds, now taking 15 to 20+.

Again, nothing was changed on the computer hosting the shared folders other than updates being installed. Nothing has been changed on the network. I'm currently in the process of uninstalling those updates and testing.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
