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.

    I tried it. It does not work. Microsoft needs to fix it immediately if they want people to upgrade.

    I have the same issue. This is the message I get when trying to access my NAS drive,

    Same with trying to access other network computers.

    Network discovery is ON.

    File and Printer sharing is ON.

    No other system changes have been made other than the automatic upgrade to 24H2 which happened last Thursday. Please help. I need access to the files on my drives!

    I did this with 3 computers on my lan, and only 2 are able to view shares for each other. The third is not able to view shares.
