Windows 10: You do not have permission to access \\PC_NAME contact your network administrator to...

I've gone in a HUGE circle trying to resolve this issue "You do not have permission to access \\PC_NAME contact your network administrator to request access" and so far zero success. I found another post about the same subject at "https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/you-do-not-have-permission-to-access-pcname/704f39f0-a03e-4f1c-bead-a45df97e455d" and tried the suggested solution several times to ensure I did not miss a step which did not work for me.I have two PCs Shelia-PC and Taylor-PC in a local wired network, both are in the WORKGROUP, both are running Windows 10

You do not have permission to access \\PC_NAME contact your network administrator to request access

***Modify title from: Permissions***

Hello,

I have a network configured as a workgroup. All 9 systems are Windows 10. I'm using one as a file server. My issue is I have shared the C drive on this file server giving everyone full control but from the workstations when I click onto Network and double
click onto the file server name (Server) I receive the below error:

you do not have permission to access \\Server Contact your network administrator to request access

Please advise!

Error: You do not have permissions to access \\ PC name while trying to access and Excel file

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand that when you try to access an Excel file, you get an error. It would be great if you can help us with the details requested below to help you further with the issue:

• Does this issue occur while accessing any other file?
  
• Is the computer connected to a Domain/organizational network?
  
• Which build version of Windows are you using? To check type:
  winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit
  Enter.
  

We would suggest you to try accessing the shared folder using the path and see if that helps. Follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows key + R, to open
   Run dialog box.
   
2. Type \\shared folder path and click on
   OK.
   

However, you may try providing permissions to the folder where the files are saved and see if you are able to access the files. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Navigate to the location on the PC through which the files are shared.
   
2. Right click on the folder and select Properties.
   
3. Click on Sharing tab, and click on
   Advanced Sharing.
   
4. Now, select the checkbox for Share this folder.
   
5. Click on Permissions, select the check box for
   Allow Full Control.
   
6. Click on OK (Twice).
   

Refer screenshot below:









If an IT Administrator manages the folder, then you may have to get in touch with the administrator to reset or grant permissions to access the file.
