Windows 11 update 24H2 changes network access

Anonymous

I have two pc's that are almost identical hardware, with W11 Home, but one has not yet updated to 24H2 while the other has.

The apps links shown on the bottom of this image are not present on the 24H2 version, which is a retrograde step as finding the settings app should be easy..

Annoyingly the 24H2 update seems to have broken the network sharing, and finding advanced sharing settings to enable file transfer isnt easy.

Its been working until this morning, but now I'm unable even to see other devices from the "un-updated" machine.

    FOUND THE ANSWER!!! (at least for Win11 Home 24H2) File sharing is now working!!

    To disable the SMB signing requirement in server (inbound to your Windows 11 Canary Insider Enterprise, Pro, or Education edition device), run the following PowerShell command as an elevated administrator:

    Set-SmbServerConfiguration -RequireSecuritySignature $false

     

    To access PowerShell as Admin, Press Win + R keys together to open Run.

    Type PowerShell in Run and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter keys together to open the PowerShell prompt with administrative privileges.

    THANK YOU!

    File sharing is NOW working! I tried EVERYTHING else and yours fixed this nonsense!

    MS needs to STOP screwing up stuff that was already working!

    @GazzaGDBB,

    Hello there, I solved my problems with the 24H2 network, I'm now up and running 4 different PCs with Build 26100.2152 and my network works correctly.

    See the edit on my last post of Oct 19 on Page 2.

    I had a couple of issues that I described, but now I got both corrected. 👍

    My home network has a mixture of PCs with Windows 11 23H2 and 24H2 and also Windows 10.

    I can now share file on all of them without problem.

    I also heard of another issue that affects users with local accounts without password, (Insecure Login) but that is described in another thread.

    I use local accounts too, but all with Passwords and PIN, and that problem is not affecting my network. 😉

    Not only NO but hell NO. I can play with settings for a bit, see all the shares, then boom next time I look they are gone. MicroTurd broke something that was working very well. If someone has a real answer that will not insult my 24 years of Windows intelligence and experience, please post. Else going to wait for fixes to 24H2, a total POS.
