Homegroup problem - accessing shares asks for credentials
Well, this problem is making me NUTS...
Several PCs in my store.. some running W7 starter, some W10 Home pro.
A few days ago suddenly I could no longer access a folder on another W10 computer, where we tend to store a lot of important documents. The computer where the other folder is, runs also W10.
Shares are usually done vie HomeGroup - share with home group users.
Other computers on the network have no problem accessing it. Furthermore, I can access it from another local account on my computer, but not from my main account (which is a MS account)..
It asks for credentials, although I am a homegroup user.. nevertheless I enter the other computer's only username and password (admin ones) and it still does not let me in. Try my own MS user and pass - also "wrong".
Tried leaving and joining the Homegroup.
Tried restarting network related services and setting them on Automatic.
Tried homegroup troubleshooter - says probable problem is with network, so should run Network troubleshooter.
I do so and it shows error:
This network troubleshooter shows error: resource (peer to peer grouping) is online, but not responding to connection attempts.
Following the latter and some google searches, I tried adding DisabledComponents" DWORD with "0"value in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\TCPIP6\Parameters
But still NO-GO.
I do not know what to do next.. I will try tomorrow add another user on the other computer just so I can try access with it, but bottom line is - I should not have to do that.. it is stupid.
Who cares about idiotic Cortana, when something so basic and important as network sharing just stops working by itself and takes hours of nerves to get working .. if at all..
Thanks for reading..
