Windows 10: You can't access this shared folder because your organization's security policies block...

After updating my windows 11, Now on accessing shared folder I'm getting message "You can't access this shared folder because your organization's security policies block unauthenticated guest access. These policies help protect your PC from unsafe or malicious devices on the network" None of my usernames or passwords work. I'm trying to access my usb storage drive plugged into my router. All worked well prior to the update, no username or password required. I am also able to access the drive on my other computer. I tried HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters and m

You can't access this shared folder because your organization's security policies block unauthenticated guest access.

I have updated to windows 10, version 2004. Now on accessing shared folder I'm getting message "You can't access this shared folder because your organization's security policies block unauthenticated guest access. These policies help protect your PC
from unsafe or malicious devices on the network"

I have gone through this link "Enable insecure guest logons in SMB2 and SMB3 for Windows client and Windows Server"

But workaround given in above support article not working for me.

[Computer configuration\administrative templates\network\Lanman Workstation
"Enable insecure guest logons"]
I'm still getting the same error. Please let me know what other steps can be taken to get access again.

Cannot access shared network drive


Personally, I wouldnt use Everyone. If anyone hacks into you, they have full access to everything and can demolish everything on your raid. I would rather set up accounts and access separately for each person. That way, I know who did all that damage. In the end with a little extra work, I feel more secure by using Authenticated Users.


If this helps.
step 1 create non-microsoft account and without email and address without admin rights
step 2 share a drive or folder to specific user account (if Everyone is listed, remove it)
step 3 set security > add Authenticated Users (if more than 1 account) or add specific users
step 3a remove Everyone from list
step 3b uncheck full control and write for all items listed except SYSTEM and Admin account.
step 4 right click Start > Computer Management > System Tools > Shared Folders > Shares ... to verify settings and change anything else. You can also see the number of connections to each share here.
