win 11 to win 10

Hi,

The root cause of the issue is that Windows is not caching the Microsoft account password properly.

The most effective solution is to create a new temporary file, which can then be used to access the network share.

#1
Press Windows key + R and type services.msc.

• In the Window that opens, ensure the following services are running. Additionally, set them to run automatically instead of manually.
  • Function Discovery Resource Publication
  • Function Discovery Provider Host
  • SSDP Discovery
  • UPnP Device Host
• Do these steps on all the computers connected to the Network.

#2:

1. Press Windows key + R and type netplwiz.exe
2. Click the add button. Follow the steps to create a local account as detailed here. You can give the name something simpler, since we would use it only to access the Network.
3. Make the local account administrator. Use these to access Network sharing.
4. Once it is done, the Windows 11 network sharing credentials issue is resolved.

I hope this information helps. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to reach out.

Otherwise, if your problem is resolved, please take a moment to rate the answer. Wishing you good luck!
