Guess what? Networking to PC 2 has just started working on PC 1. The only change I made was to allow access without a password from PC 2 as when I tried access from PC 2 a password was being asked...

Well, finally the update has been made. The bad news is that there is no difference with the problem. I have checked and I can access both computers from PC 2 so I will live with that. I cannot...

I hope so, too. It is taking a long time, though. It took 6 hours just to download the updates (broadband is slow here).

Hi Caledon Ken,

No it is me that was wrong. I re-checked for what I thought I had read and it was not there. You are right, so I am currently giving it a try. I will let you know the result.

I think I will leave it and work around the problem, thank you. I use my PC for lots of different things and the link states that Apps have to be reinstalled. That, for me, would be a lot of hassle.

Yes, I did try it but it did not work for me.

Hi Caledon Ken,

I think that a repair install might be the only solution but I have had a look at the instructions and feel that it is more than I wish to do at the moment. If I need to move...

Ping works fine.

Hi, they are both on 1803. I did try establishing a password on the machine I cannot connect to but that did not work. I still got the error message and no request for me to enter a password.

Hi Caledon Ken,

I have tried a reset on both machines. There has been no change, the problem is still there.

Thank you everyone for your helpful suggestions. However, the problem remains.

Hi Caledon Ken,

I do use Defender (same package) on both computers. I have not mapped any of the drives. I have flushed both computers and the problem remains the same. I am a little puzzled that...

It did not work, I'm afraid.

I tried what you suggested and the only entry under Windows Credential Manager that related to the second computer was an entry relating to the PC name before I...

Hi Caledon Ken,

The settings are enabled in the private network section and all settings are identical on both PCs (don't forget the connection works from the other PC)

I have not set a network...

The full error message is:-

[path to other computer] is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have...

I have managed to move this problem along and semi cure it. Internet searches show that the are computer name problems with V1803. I therefore have changed the name of both of the computers. Instant...

All folders. I have always been able to do this up till this latest Win 10. All I want to do is to transfer files. This should be easy.

Thanks for your reply. No, I never needed a userid or password but I could always see all of the drives and folders from both machines. I now seem to be restricted in the drives and folders that I...

My Windows 10 has recently been updated. I now find that my second PC (linked with a workgroup) shows in a different place in my file manager and I cannot see all the folders on the second PC. If I...

Hi,

I also have had this problem for some time and it was becoming worse, with the system freezing several times a day.

I was convinced that it was graphics related so I bought a graphics...
