Windows cannot access network error

Windows Cannot Access \ Computer Name is mainly a network-related problem of your Local Area Connection and generally this error occurs due to the lack of network permissions, improper installed Network Drivers, and sometimes a single corrupted Windows Registry can be the reason too.

Most of the time people have this problem right after creating a new LAN Connection in their network and mainly the error popup message appears when every time you try to open the shared folder located on the other computer.

The bad thing which I really hate about this network error is, not only on the folder you can also get this error message on any network file or even on the network shared drive too. And believe it or not but sometimes it gets really hard to find where the actual fault is, and what do we really need to do to fix the problem.

Network error

Windows cannot access \ Computer Name

You do not have permission to access \ Computer Name contact your network administrator to request access.

If you’re having this problem on your Local Area Network, then I don’t think you should really need to worry about it;

Because with the help of this tutorial I’ll definitely going to help you out by showing you,  how you can change the permissions configuration of your computer to read and write the files or folder on the shared network drive through your Windows Network Place.

So, Lets See How to Troubleshoot This Error;

This problem can occur on any version of windows, even if you are using the latest Windows 10 or running an old Windows 7 Computer. Normally, Access Denied Network Error comes because of some kind of network-related permission problem. But sometimes there are some other reasons for this error to shows up on your computer’s screen and here’s the list of those reasons which can be possibly happening on your computer:

  • Improper LAN Connection
  • Improper LAN Sharing Setting
  • Improper Drive or Folder Security Setting
  • TCP/IP NetBIOS Setting is Unconfigured 
  • Windows Registry got Corrupted
  • Network Driver got Corrupted

1# Solution  Improper LAN Connection and Sharing Setting

If you have recently created a LAN connection by yourself, or maybe tried to start the file sharing, or changed the LAN Wire or Modem, or just made any changes in your LAN configuration, then this is the time where you’ll need to rectify it all.

Let’s start with the connections and wires;

To make a connection between two different network devices like a Modem and Computer, we actually need to use a Straight cable. On the other hand, the same network devices like ‘PC to PC’ or ‘Modem to Modem’ need a Cross-over cable to interact properly.

The reason behind explaining that is because if you have recently changed any cable in your network then make sure the cable you used is suitable for the proper connection.

Both of the cables look exactly the same but the internal wiring is completely different and that’s why people usually get confused while creating their PC to PC LAN connection.

The next configuration is the ‘Sharing Setting’. Check for the proper IP configuration on every connected device in your network. If all the PC’s have an IP address configured in it, then make sure it won’t conflict. Confliction mainly happens when two different PC has the same IP configuration.

You’ll also need to assign the IP address to all of your Share PCs if you found the setting is pre-set on “Obtain the IP Address Automatically”.

To change or check your saved setting, you can go to the ‘Network and Sharing Center‘ and then on the left sidebar, click on “Change Adapter Settings” option. Now right-click on your network adapter and select “Properties“. After that, select “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” and then click on its “Properties” button.

Then on the ‘Advanced sharing setting’, make sure everything is configured as listed below:

  • Turn on network discovery.
  • Turn on file and printer sharing.
  • Allow windows to manage homegroup connection (recommended).
  • Turn on sharing so anyone with network access can read and write files in the public folders.
  • Use 128-bit encryption to help protect files sharing connections (recommended).
  • Turn off password protected sharing.

Note: Make these changes on your current selected network profile. 

You’ll also need to check that all your shared PC is working on the same network Workgroup. To check or change the workgroup, you can go your ‘Computer properties’ and click on the “Change setting” button under the “Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings”, and then click on “Change…”.

After that click on the “Network ID” on the same pop-up window and then follow the instruction given in the picture below:

2# Solution  Improper Drive or Folder Security Setting

80% of you will be going to fix your problem by following this particular solution because generally, people do forget to change the security setting while making any drive/file/folder shared in their network place.

So now I’m going to show you how you can easily configure the permission setting to connect with all devices in your network just to read and write the files or folder.

If you’re having this problem with all of your network drives and folder and wanted to grant permission to all of those shared folders or drives at once, then it’s not possible and you’ll need to repeat all these steps for all of your shared drives and even for a single file and folder.

If the list of sharable File/folder contains in a single drive, then granting permission for that single drive can make all the internal File/Folder read and writeable for the other network computer.

Step 1 – Give Sharing Permission to Everyone

To configure the sharing permission, First, you’ll need to right click on that drive, file or folder which you wanted to share and then select ‘Properties’.

In the properties window, select the Sharing tab and then click on Advanced Sharing …” button. Now make sure you have ticked on the Share this folder button.

After that, click on the Permission button and give “Everyone” user the Full Control.

Step 2 – Add Everyone Username in Security Tab.

This step allows you to add a new username into the security tab of your file/folder/drive’s properties, just to make it accessible to all users which is connected to your LAN.

To grant the access to everyone, we actually need a username called “Everyone” under the security tab, so your OS can permit other connted PC’s to cross the security. But still, there is no username called ‘Everyone’ is mentioned under the security tab of your shared drive, file or folder.

So now again in the properties windows, click on the Security Tab and then select the Edit button which will lead you to another pop-up window, where you can add the username by clicking on another Add…” button.

Now in the third pop-up window, you’ll have to click on the Advanced …” button which will help to find all of the linked usernames connected to your PC.

On the fourth pop-up, click on the Find Now button to make your computer to show you the list of all available users;

And in between all those usernames, you’ll find the username called Everyone in the list, which you need to select and then click on OK.

After that, you’ll again need to click on the Ok and at this moment you will be seeing the username Everyone is showing under the users and groups setting.

Step 3 Allowing Permission to Everyone.

When you have done with adding the username, then it’s the time when you need to grant the full permission to the username Everyone in the security tab, just to make it accessible from any LAN connected computer.

Now, click on the username Everyone and then tick on the Full control option and then click on Apply.

After that, you will able to see the Windows Security pop-up on the screen, which will apply the setting for all of your files containing in that shared drive or folder.

So, at this moment you’ll just need to sit back and watch the whole process until it gets completed and make sure you don’t click on the cancel button or otherwise you’ll get the same problem while accessing some files in the future.

After that, you can actually able to read and write the files on that drive right after when this whole security configuration gets done. If not, then just continue.

3# Solution  Configure TCP/IP NetBIOS 

‘TCP/IP NetBIOS’ also known by its another name “NetBT” and it’s a network protocol based on session layer of the OSI model, allowing applications on separate computers to communicate over a local area network.

Using the NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) service on the network allows users to share files, printers, and log on to the network. If the NetBT service is unconfigured, some of these functions might not be available to the user. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start.

So, make sure on every shared computer of your network the ‘NetBIOS over TCP/IP’ is enabled and to confirm that, here is the procedure given below:

  • To change the configuration, first, you’ll need to search the “services.msc” on the Windows Starts Menu to open the ‘Windows Servies’ (where you can easily start, stops, and configures any Windows services).
  • Now on the Services window, search for a service named “TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper” and double-click on it. Then on the pop-up general tab, change the ”Startup type setting” to the ‘Automatic’.

After when you have done with the services configuration, then now it’s the time when you need to enable the ‘NetBIOS over TCP/IP’ setting in your computer’s Network Adaptor.

To do that, you’ll have to again open the “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” properties. Then on the pop-up, click on the “Advanced…” button, select “WINS” tab and pick “Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP” as your main preference. And that’s it.

4# Solution  Corrupted Windows Registry

The Windows Registry is a hierarchical configuration storage database that stores settings for the Microsoft Windows Operating System and other installed software in your Windows.

The registry is the main target when a virus or malware starts to corrupt your windows and a single changed value in your Windows Registry can cause this network related problem. You can fix your Windows Registry by using some best in class Registry Cleaner and that will fix your problem by just doing some simple steps.

But before using that, I have some couple of manual registry settings which you can try to fix the issue;

First, open your Windows Registry Database by using the run command “regedit”. You can press Windows + R Key to instantly show the Run Commander. Or you can just search the “regedit” on Starts Menu.

When it gets open, go to this location “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMSLicensing” into the database.

Now expand the ‘MSLicensing’ folder and then delete both of the “HardwareID” and “Store” sub-folders listed under the expansion. Make sure you only delete sub-folders and not the whole MSLicensing.

This can fix the connection licensing problems in case, your connection is having any.

After that, go to the   “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionpoliciessystem” location and then create a new DWORD Value named LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy and then click Modify or double click on the key and type “1” under the ‘Value data’.

If still not fixed? here’s an article about;

How to Fix Registry Related Issues using a Registry Cleaner?

The Registry is a very important database that resides within your Operating System. It contains vital information on all the settings, preferences, etc. on hardware and software installed in your rig. When it comes to programs, the Registry also maintains data like the location of the program, what is required to launch the program, what sort of resources it needs from the computer, and so on and so forth… Read More

5# Solution  Corrupted Windows Drivers

Computer operating systems are able to support network adapters via software known as Network driver. Network drivers are actually that you needed in order to connect your computer to any network. If something bad happens to your network drivers then it’s quite possible that you get some constant errors on your screen while working in the network area.

Now updating the drivers is the best thing what you can do to fix all the drivers related issue and make everything back to normal.

I recently got a very odd problem with Windows 10 network sharing. When I open my shared folder in «Network» from «this pc» it says «Windows cannot access \pc-namefolder-name.»

I have turned on network discovery and file sharing for all the network types (private, guest, public) and I have also given permissions in folders sharing property. I’m able to access the other PC that is connected on the same network on my laptop (that has this problem) but that working PC does not see my laptop on the shared network, though both the laptop and PC are in same work group and network.

After running the troubleshooter, it says the remote device or resource won’t accept the connection. Please help with this issue, i have tried the majority of the methods to fix this but nothing works, it’s like the network feature doesn’t even exist on my Windows now as it is not being discovered anywhere.

i used Tweaking.com — Windows Repair which restored registries and and various other Windows files and then i uninstalled the majority of the programs and then restarted and again tried to double click on my PC name from networks in this PC and it still showed the same error: path cannot be found.

But, then I was really fed up and gave one last try, i removed the home-group from every system on my network and ran home-group troubleshooter, nothing happened from the troubleshooter but then I created a new home-group on my laptop after removing the home-groups from every system and now, when I double clicked on my PC name in networks, the shared folder opened.

Also, when I tried same on another system in the same network, it opened there too, so I think just by removing home-groups from every system and making a new home-group from your system would work. Maybe also disabling every service using the network such as xampp and filezilla.

— Disable the discovery/sharing on both PC,
— verify Both connection are labeled as home network
— Both computers : System > advanced setting > rename this computer or change it’s domaine = put in new work group name
— Activate file sharing and discovery for both computers
Usually you do not need computer to join a home group as they already belonging to the same work group

thank you for replying rogg

to be clear the problem is not in the network or another system the problem is in my laptop, when you go to this pc>network>your pc name>shared folder, you will be able to access the folder that you have shared from there but in my case i am not able to open the folder from my pc itself, when i go to network>pc-name>sharedfolder, it says windows cannot access \ but when go to that folder directly from my drive it opens up.

Hi,

Let’s verify if these services are started.
a. Press Windows key + R.

b. Type ‘sevices.msc’ and hit ENTER.

1. DHCP Client

2. DNS Client

3. Network Connections

4. Network Location Awareness

5. Remote Procedure Call (RPC)

6. Server

7. TCP/IP Netbios helper

8. Workstation

9. Function Discovery Resource Publication,

10. UPnP Device Host services

All of these services should be started, and their startup type should be automatic.

i have tried this too

That’s exactly what I did couple of time with my Seagate satellite drive shared folders, I had to erase previous home group and either create a new home group or other option I prefer is to just change windows default network going with each PC name and showing in the computer properties as default.
Great news then, thanks for your feedback.

При настройке локальной сети на Windows 7,8 и 10 требуется правильно назначать доступы пользователям и настраивать службы. Иначе возникает сетевая ошибка с кодами 0x800070035, 0x80004005 или 0x800704cf и появляется сообщение, что Windows не удается получить доступ к нужной сетевой папке, диску, устройству или файлу.

Сообщение об ошибке, в зависимости от версии ОС, может выглядеть следующим образом:

  1. Windows не может получить доступ к компьютеру в локальной сети. Не найден сетевой путь. Код ошибки:
  2. Windows не может получить доступ к сетевой папке/диску/иному расположению в локальной сети.
  3. Windows не может получить доступ к *Папка или файл*. Разрешение на доступ к *Путь до папки* отсутствует. Обратитесь к сетевому администратору для получения доступа.

[Обновление] Быстро исправить ошибки с кодом 0x80004005 (а иногда и с остальными) удается, веся всего одну запись в реестр:

  1. Открыть «Пуск» -> «Выполнить», ввести regedet и нажать Enter.
  2. В разделе реестра HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE перейти по пути Software Policies Microsoft Windows LanmanWorkstation.
  3. ПКМ — создать новый параметр имя AllowInsecureGuestAuth тип REG_DWORD Enabled Value 1 (значение 1 — включено). Перезагрузить ПК.

  • Способ 1: Проверка настроек общего доступа
  • Способ 2: Проверка работоспосоности службы Сервер
  • Способ 3: Настройка свойств сетевой карты

  • Способ 5: Настройка доступа к сетевой папке

Сетевая ошибка Windows не может получить доступ

Исправление сетевых ошибок 0x800070035 и 0x80004005

Причины, по которым Windows 7 или 10 может получить доступ к сетевой папке или файлам, практически всегда кроются в неправильно выставленных настройках системы, нежели в каких-либо ошибках. По аналогичным причинам в локальной сети может отсутствовать доступ к другому компьютеру, и система будет выдавать ошибку «Не удалось установить соединение. Не найден сетевой путь.» с аналогичными кодами. Большинство проблем исправляется элементарно, при помощи простых изменений настроек.

Если Windows не может получить доступ к сетевой папке и выдает ошибки 0x800070035 или 0x80004005, нужно:

  1. Проверить настройки общего доступа.
  2. Убедиться, что включена сетевая служба «Сервер».

Проверка настроек общего доступа

Ошибки при получении доступа к сетевой папке часто возникают в Windows по причине неправильно выставленных доступов. Если к диску, папке, файлу или компьютеру не открыть общий доступ, то другие участники локальной сети не смогут установить соединение.

Последовательность действий:

  1. Выбрать сетевую папку или диск, для которых требуется создать общий доступ.
  2. Нажать правой кнопкой мыши, выбрать в контекстном меню «Общий доступ».
  3. Перейти по пункту подменю «Конкретные пользователи».
  4. В открывшемся окне нажать на треугольную стрелочку, расположенную рядом с кнопкой «Добавить».
  5. Выбрать из появившегося списка пользователя, которому требуется предоставить доступ. В случае, если в списке не будет никаких пользователей, следует выбрать вариант «Все».
  6. Установить права доступа для пользователя: только чтение (просмотр файлов), либо чтение и запись (возможность изменения, добавления и удаления файлов из сетевой папки).

После этого нужно нажать кнопку «Общий доступ» и, если система не покажет никаких ошибок или предупреждений, нажать на кнопку «Готово».

В Windows 8 и 10 есть более простой способ поделиться содержимым папки или диска с пользователями домашней группы:

  1. Нажать правой кнопкой мыши по нужной папке.
  2. Выбрать в контекстном меню пункт «Поделиться».
  3. Выбрать подпункт «Домашняя группа (просмотр и изменение)».

После этого система должна открыть доступ к указанному пути для всех пользователей локальной сети.

Проверка работоспособности службы Сервер

«Сервер» является встроенной службой в Windows, необходимой для работоспособности локальной сети и подключения к удаленным компьютерам, устройствам или файлам. Если компьютер ранее не использовался в качестве сервера или для подключения к домашней сети, служба может быть отключена. Это часто становится причиной ошибок доступа к сетевым папкам, даже когда права для всех пользователей выставлены корректно и остальные настройки ОС в норме.

Включение и выключение служб в Windows 7 и 10 происходит в Панели управления:

  1. Нажать «Пуск» — «Администрирование» — «Службы».
  2. Если вкладка «Администрирование» отсутствует в меню «Пуск», перейти в «Панель управления» и найти в списке пункт «Службы» во вкладке «Администрирование».
  3. Откроется окно со всеми службами, в котором требуется отыскать «Сервер».
  4. Кликнуть по строке «Сервер» правой кнопкой мыши, в появившемся контекстном меню выбрать пункт «Свойства».
  5. В открывшемся окне во вкладке «Общее» выбрать «Тип запуска»: автоматически или вручную.

Если служба изначально была выключена, «Тип запуска» будет установлен в положение «Отключена». Запуск вручную вынудит перезапускать службу каждый раз, когда потребуется доступ к сетевой папке, удаленному компьютеру или файлам в домашней группе. В автоматическом режиме служба будет запускаться самостоятельно, и заново проделывать указанные действия не потребуется.

Настройка свойств сетевой карты

Ошибки подключения к сетевым устройствам с кодами 0x800070035 и 0x80004005 могут быть решены путем выставления настроек сетевого подключения. В настройках сетевой карты нужно снять флажок с протокола iPv6, а также выполнить настройку iPv4. Метод одинаково хорошо работает в Windows 7 и 10 всех версией. Сначала следует попробовать только выключить протокол iPv6, а уже потом выполнять остальные действия, если этот простой способ не помог.

Пошаговая инструкция:

  1. Зайти в пеню «Пуск», перейти в «Панель управления».
  2. В Windows 7: Перейти в раздел «Центр управления сетями и общим доступом», затем «Изменение параметров адаптеров». Для Windows 10: В панели управления выбрать «Сеть и интернет», затем «Центр управления сетями и общим доступом», выбрать в левом меню пункт «Изменение параметров адаптеров».
  3. Выбрать подключение по локальной сети, по которому не удается получить доступ. Кликнуть по нему правой кнопкой мыши и выбрать пункт «Свойства».
  4. В свойствах сетевой карты убрать значок с протокола iPv6.
  5. Открыть свойства протокола iPv4, перейти во вкладку «Дополнительно».
  6. Открыть вкладку с названием «WINS», нажать на «Параметры NetBIOS».
  7. Поставить отметку, в зависимости от типа ip-адресации: «По умолчанию» для динамической ip-адресации и «Включить NetBIOS через TCP/IP» для статической.
  8. Нажать три раза «Ок», «Ок», «Ок».

После этого требуется выполнить несколько простых действий в Диспетчере устройств:

  1. Открыть «Пуск» — «Панель управления» — «Оборудование и звук» — «Диспетчер устройств».
  2. Перейти на вкладку «Вид», выбрать отметку «Показать скрытые устройства».
  3. Нажать «Сетевые адаптеры» и удалить все адаптеры 6to4.

Изменения вступят в силу после перезагрузки компьютера.

Настройка Службы компонентов

Настройки данной службы нечасто становятся причиной ошибок доступа к сетевым папкам и устройствам. По этой причине изменять настройки службы желательно в последнюю очередь, если остальные методы не помогли.

Инструкция по настройке локального доступа через Службу компонентов:

  1. Нажать кнопку «Пуск», ввести в поле поиска «Службы компонентов».
  2. Кликнуть по найденному результату правой кнопкой мыши, выбрать в контекстном меню «Запуск от имени администратора».
  3. В выскочившем окошке разрешить программе внести изменения на этот компьютер. Должно открыться окно со службой.
  4. Раскрыть окно «Службы компонентов», открыть второе окно «Компьютеры».
  5. Нажать по надписи «Мой компьютер» правой кнопкой мыши, перейти на вкладку «Свойства», затем «Свойства по умолчанию».
  6. Поставить «Уровень проверки подлинности по умолчанию» в положение «По умолчанию».
  7. Поставить «Уровень олицетворения по умолчанию» в положение «Олицетворение».
  8. Нажать кнопку «Применить».
  9. Нажать кнопку «Ок».
  10. Закрыть окно со «Службой компонентов».

Желательно сразу перезагрузить компьютер, после чего снова попробовать подключиться. Если ошибка сохраняется, следует проверить настройки доступа к сетевой папке.

Настройки доступа к сетевой папке

Windows может выдавать ошибку при доступе к папке и просить обратиться к администратору при неправильных настройках общей папки, где находятся раздаваемые файлы. При этом все устройства внутри локальной сети могут нормально обнаруживать друг-друга, и подключение устанавливается без проблем.

Просматривать содержимое сетевой папки могут только те пользователи, у которых есть доступ. Это легко проверить:

  1. Кликнуть по нужной папке правой кнопкой мыши, открыть «Свойства».
  2. Перейти на вкладку «Безопасность».
  3. В окне «Группы или пользователи» должна быть выбрана позиция «Все».

Если так и есть, то все в порядке. В противном случае требуется добавить новую группу:

  1. Нажать кнопку «Изменить» под окном «Группы или пользователи».
  2. Кликнуть по кнопке «Добавить», перейти во вкладку «Дополнительно…».
  3. Нажать «Поиск», выбрать в результатах поиска строку «Все», после чего кликнуть «Ок».
  4. Еще раз нажать «Ок».

Осталось выставить права для созданной группы пользователей «Все» — чтение, доступ, изменение и так далее. Аналогичным образом можно устанавливать разные настройки для отдельных групп, но это не обязательно. Одни настройки для всех пользователей снизят риск возникновения повторных ошибок доступа к минимуму.

Some Windows 11/10 users might encounter the error message Unable to access Network drive, accompanied by the error code 0x80004005 during a failed attempt to use a shared resource over the network such as a shared network hard drive. This post offers the most suitable solutions to this issue, which doesn’t include enabling SMB1; since SMBv1 is a very insecure protocol and should not be used, given that Microsoft has deprecated this feature.

Unable to access Network drive error 0x80004005

When you encounter this issue, you’ll receive a similar error prompt as shown above with the following full error message;

Network Error

Windows cannot access \Computerl
Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network. To try to identify and resolve network problems, click Diagnose.

Error code: 0x80004005
Unspecified error

Quite a number of factors can lead to the error. For instance, insufficient or no network permissions, improper installed network drivers or corrupted Windows registry.

What does the error code 0x80004005 mean?

The error code 0x80004005 is an unspecified error that can occur in different scenarios, like while extracting files from a Zip file, accessing a Network drive, etc. In some cases, a third-party backup utility or an antivirus is responsible for this error code.

If you’re faced with this issue, you can try our recommended solutions below in no particular order and see if that helps to resolve the issue.

  1. Disable IPV6
  2. Allow Full Permissions for the shared drive/folder
  3. Ensure NetBIOS is enabled
  4. Make sure Network Discovery is enabled
  5. Disable SMB 1.0 Protocol
  6. Change Network and Sharing Center settings
  7. Check if required services are running
  8. Disable/Uninstall 3rd party security software (if applicable)

Let’s take a look at the description of the process involved concerning each of the listed solutions.

1] Disable IPV6

This solution requires you to disable IPv6 and see if the Unable to access Network drive error 0x80004005 issue is resolved.

2] Allow Full Permissions for the shared drive/folder

You might be unable to access a computer on a network in Windows 11/10 due to the improper networking sharing permissions for the shared folder or drive. In this case, you can allow/grant full permissions on the shared drive/folder.

3] Ensure NetBIOS is enabled

NetBIOS allows networked computers to share resources. If this isn’t working or isn’t enabled, it could be causing the error. So, ensure that NetBIOS is enabled on your Windows computer.

4] Make sure Network Discovery is enabled

This solution requires you to make sure that Network Discovery is turned on for Private Network and make sure that the automatic setup checkbox is enabled. Also, make sure Turn on file and printer sharing is also enabled – and make sure the Turn off password-protected network sharing is enabled for All Networks.

5] Disable SMB 1.0 Protocol

SMB 1.0 Protocol has now become obsolete. Microsoft deprecated it in 2014. It is insecure and should not be used. Check if it is enabled. If yes, disable it. You can disable it via Windows Optional Features. The following instructions will guide you on this:

Turn off SMB 1.0 Optional Feature

  1. Click on Windows Search and type Turn Windows features on or off.
  2. Select the desired option from the search results.
  3. In the Windows Features, expand the SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support.
  4. Now, uncheck the following options:
    • SMB 1.0/CIFS Automatic Removal
    • SMB 1.0/CIFS Server
  5. Restart your computer.

Turning off these two optional features resolved the issue for many users. Hence, this should also work for you.

6] Change Network and Sharing Center Settings

Turn off the password-protected sharing and see if it helps. The steps to disable password-protected sharing on Windows 11/10 are as follows:

Turn off password protected sharing

  1. Open the Control Panel.
  2. Click on the Control Panel search bar and type network and sharing center.
  3. Select the Network and Sharing Center from the search results.
  4. Click Change advanced sharing settings link on the left side.
  5. Expand the All Networks section.
  6. Select the Turn off password-protected sharing option.
  7. Click Save Changes.

7] Check if required services are running

Check if the required services are running or not. Follow the instructions provided below:

Check the status of the required services

  1. Open the Run command box and type services.msc. Click OK.
  2. When the Service Manager app appears, check the status of the following services:
    • Function Discovery Provider Host
    • Function Discovery Resource Publication
    • SSDP Discovery
    • UPnP Device Host
    • DHCP Client
    • DCP Client
  3. If the status of any of the above-mentioned services shows Stopped, right-click on it and select Properties.
  4. Set its Startup type to Automatic and click Start.
  5. Click Apply and then click OK.

8] Disable/Uninstall 3rd party security software (if applicable)

You may encounter this error if you have any third-party security software installed on your Windows 11/10 computer because File sharing turned out to be managed by a 3rd-party security software making use of the Windows Firewall. In this case, you can temporarily disable any third-party security software or allow file sharing via the security software firewall – this largely depends on the security software you have installed. Refer to the instruction manual.

However, if despite the two aforementioned actions, the issue still persists, you’ll have to remove all third-party security software from your PC using the dedicated removal tool to remove all files associated with the security software.

If uninstalling the security software fixes this error, you can now install the same antivirus again, or you can switch to an alternative AV software or better still stick to Windows 10 native AV program – Windows Defender.

Any of these solutions should work for you!
