I can see other computers on my network but I have no access. I've checked all of the network settings. This all happened right after the windows 11 24H2 completed. I updated all the computers on the network and still no access.

Thanks,

Steve D.

problem solved for the Windows 11 24H2 update.

to allow access to your folders, the following works (after I tried every other thing that doesn't)

go to Start, type Powershell, Right click on Windows Powershell, and Run as Administrator.

Enter these commands one at a time, and Enter.

Set-SmbClientConfiguration -EnableInsecureGuestLogons $true -Force

Set-SmbClientConfiguration -RequireSecuritySignature $false -Force

Set-SmbServerConfiguration -RequireSecuritySignature $false -Force

These worked on a brand new install, and after the update.

Don't know what to tell you...it worked like a charm for me...ran it last night and its still rock solid now...maybe backtrack through New Guy_1s posts and see if you can get to a solution...Good Luck...I know how frustrating it can be to see the "Settings" module NOT!!!...work as "EXPLAINED" by the geeks that write that ****.

Changed nothing home network still not working

Had the same problem...fought with it for a few days...I have set up small networks before so I knew about the workgroup thing and some of the sign on issues when challenged by other computers on the network...etc...etc...was just about to try removing and reinstalling Client for Microsoft Networks when I decided to do some "Fishing" online and stumbled into here...I say all that to say this...

FORKING THANK YOU New Guy_1
This WORKED LIKE A CHARM!!!

THank you for the suggestion - we will think about this
