    Network Folder connection error : "A device attached to the system is not functioning"

    Hi All,

    since few weeks We're having issue to connect to network folder like \\xyq-xxx-xxx\ , when trying to connect user receive the error "a device attached to the system is not functioning".

    We have tried to :

    • Connect using FQDN, adding domain on the folder name
    • Connect using RUN
    • Remote server is up as:
      • We can access to the folder from another device
      • From the unworking device it's possible to run a tracert to the folder (completed succesfully)
    • Enable unsicure guest logon ENABLED from GPO in Lanman Workstation
    • Network discovery and file sharing turned on for both Private and Public network profile
    • Remove security update KB5015807
    Device information:

    • Configured with Intune
    • Initial version: 20H2
    • Updated to 21H2 , issue persist
    • All windows update installed
    • Cisco AMP installed (but it's installed on all device , also to devices that are able to connect)
    • Bitlocker enabled
    • Windows Hello for Business is NOT configured
    • Logging in using password
    Any suggestion on what to check to get it fixed ?
