| 1489185 | 2022-11-01 22:43:00 | I always used to be able to see my laptop on the home network. Now I need a password. Why and where do I find it ? |

In The Search type in Control Panel - Open and select network & sharing Center - Top Left click on Change advanced sharing Settings (Next this is where any changes will be between w10 -W11) Open all networks, turn off Password protected Sharing. (same for both OS). Edited: if you are using W10 this shows the differences. turn-off-or-on-password-protected-sharing-in-windows-10.html (www.isunshare.com 0on%20password,on%20password%20protected%20sharing %2C%20and%20tap%20Save%20changes.) |

ALSO - one thing MS have a habit of doing is disabling the old SMB protocols. To Check -Open Control Panel =- Programs and features - Turn Windows features on/Off - make sure SMB settings are ticked. (reboot required if they are not) Even then not all shares show, sometimes you have to make a direct link (shortcut) to a folder or map a network drive. |
