Network file sharing not working between Windows 11 & Windows 10

Hello, we have an office where there are several Desks, recently one of the employees upgraded their computers from windows 10 to windows 11, we had all of the computers set up for Local file sharing over the network, now for some reason since the upgrade, the Win11 PC can still see all the other Win10 PC's but none of the Win10 PC's can see or access the Win11 PC, we checked all the settings, and nothings changes, SMB is enabled on all PC's, and running same IP address's, file sharing in the network sharing center is still all turned on.

Any idea what caused this?

Thanks

    I've got round it by doing a force install of Win 11 on the laptop.

    Do you mean, you brought all of the devices up to Win 11? That is not an option for me. My Laptop is controlled by my organization.

    Yes. It was the simplest option even though it doesn't have secure boot, TPM or a supported processor. It works perfectly.

    This seems like an ongoing Windows 11 problem.

    I installed 3 Win 11 Pro systems along side 3 Windows 10 systems.

    All computers appear when I open the Network Folder

    The Win 11 systems can access the Win 10 system shares, but none of the computers can access the Win 11 system shares.

    Always get the Windows cannot access error code 0x80070035

    Hours of web searches and two hours of Microsoft Support and problem not fixed.

    Last MS recommendation was to do an in place reinstall of Windows 11.

    Seems a bit extreme to fix a network share access problem.

    Anyone find a more focused direct fix for this problem?

    I also have 1 laptop with Win11 and one Desktop with Win10. Have tried multiple items such as removing the windows credentials from both devices, redoing the network sharing without success. Every time I click on the network to enter network credentials, the system displays "The username or password is incorrect" before I even enter any information. This issue started after the last windows update. The only way around this issue is by using OneDrive which is not the best solution.
