Windows 10: Windows keeps asking for Network Credentials even though I turned off password requirements

Ever since the update to 1903 I can no longer access file sharing because it asks for a password. My Windows password does not work. What is the solution?

Windows keeps asking for Network Credentials even though I turned off password requirements

Hi Andy,

The password protected sharing is enabled by default on the latest Windows 10 versions. To edit your passwords and how you share on your Homegroup by going to the
Change advanced sharing settings. To know more regarding Homegroup, you can check this
link. Ensure the following to stop receiving a password prompt:

• Turn off password protected sharing. Type Network and Sharing Center in the Cortana search bar > select Advanced Sharing Setting > select Turn off password protected sharing for all networks. This must be disabled on the target/server device.
  
• Let Windows manage the HomeGroup. Type Network and Sharing Center in the Cortana search bar > Advanced Sharing Setting > HomeGroup Connections > select "Allow Windows to manage homegroup connections (recommended)." It will ask you to sign out, then sign
  back in to be able to access network shares/devices without being asked for credentials.

If the issue persists, leave the Homegroup and join again. Additionally, we recommend posting this to our
TechNet Forum that is responsible for a work environment that has multiple computers.

Let us know how it went or if you need further help.

Credentials required to transfer document over network


I'm trying to move a document from my laptop to my desktop via my home network. But lately, I'm getting a window that asks for my account name and password to perform this transfer. It didn't before. I did switch routers recently, though. Still, I'm entering the password for my account name correctly, I think, but the password isn't accepted. How do I fix this problem? Is there a laptop networking setting that lets me bypass this step? I don't get the same window when I move documents from my desktop to the laptop. Thanks.
