Windows 10: you cant access this shared folder because your organizations security policies block...

I've tried everything for this error message. It seems to be new since Friday that I can't access my network: when there was an update by Microsoft framework and also Microsoft Office. I don't have 365 and I'm wondering if Microsoft is trying to force me to have it. you can't access this shared folder because your organizations security policies block unauthenticated guest access.

:)

 

You can't access this shared folder because your organization's security policies block unauthenticated guest access.

I have updated to windows 10, version 2004. Now on accessing shared folder I'm getting message "You can't access this shared folder because your organization's security policies block unauthenticated guest access. These policies help protect your PC
from unsafe or malicious devices on the network"

I have gone through this link "https://support.microsoft.com/en-in...bled-by-default-in-windows-10-and-windows-ser"

But workaround given in above support article not working for me.

[Computer configuration\administrative templates\network\Lanman Workstation
"Enable insecure guest logons"]
I'm still getting the same error. Please let me know what other steps can be taken to get access again.

Cannot access shared network drive


Personally, I wouldnt use Everyone. If anyone hacks into you, they have full access to everything and can demolish everything on your raid. I would rather set up accounts and access separately for each person. That way, I know who did all that damage. In the end with a little extra work, I feel more secure by using Authenticated Users.


If this helps.
step 1 create non-microsoft account and without email and address without admin rights
step 2 share a drive or folder to specific user account (if Everyone is listed, remove it)
step 3 set security > add Authenticated Users (if more than 1 account) or add specific users
step 3a remove Everyone from list
step 3b uncheck full control and write for all items listed except SYSTEM and Admin account.
step 4 right click Start > Computer Management > System Tools > Shared Folders > Shares ... to verify settings and change anything else. You can also see the number of connections to each share here.
