Hello Denis,
This looks like it's for option seven.
Usually the root folder will need to be allowed to share before any file in a subfolder will be allowed to share when using option 2 or 3.
Share Files and Folders Over a Network in Windows 10

Not to go into too much detail because I can quickly become lost or confused but after I managed to reload windows 10 and saving all my apps, sharing was a definite problem. The computer in question retained its name and was shared successfully before reloading Win 10 Pro. I used all my past notes on sharing and advanced sharing and everything seemed to be set correctly but the computer and its folders were not shared and could not be accessed from any other computer on my network. After pulling the little bit of hair I have left out of my head and accomplishing nothing, I called the fellow who builds my computer. It took him a few minutes but eventually managed to share the computer again. Essentially what he had me do once he saw all the shared settings appeared to be set correctly, he had my uncheck them and start over as far as checking and sharing them again. We did that for C: drive, the documents folder, and the User folder under my name in file explorer. As I said, not sure why this had to be done but it worked. He said these settings must have been reset but not physically changed when Win 10 was reinstalled.

Brink,
Option 1 Step 4 refers to needing SMB1 for a network that includes Windows 7.
My understanding is that SMB1 is only required for
- pre-Vista Windows versions, or
- non-Windows computers, or
- a network drive connected to the router that only has SMB1 capabilities.
I think @Bree investigated the topic last year and reached this conclusion.
All the best,
Denis

OK. I'm just going by
useful SMB1,2,3 ditties - H, Bree - TenForums
another useful SMB1,2,3 ditty - Bree #11 - TenForums
and the fact that my 2015-2016 network of Windows 10 & Windows 7 computers worked without SMB.
All the best,
Denis

I have noticed one other thing that might make a useful comment about testing connections.
When I run the PS command Get-SmbConnection, I only get a response to the command after I have used File explorer to look at the networked computer [rather than merely when the computers have joined the network].
I get one additional line of response for every shared folder I have looked at in File explorer.

I just tested that. If I don't open a shared folder, Get-Smb Connection gives me 3 lines corresponding to Users, MyUserName, & Documents folder. If I open DataSource, a shared folder, I get that additional line.
However, if I run the command again immediately after, I only get the first 3 lines.
It's as if it remembers the extra open shared folders only for awhile.
