Posted on November 27, 2020 by Madalina Dinita?14 Comments
Not being able to access network shares can be really annoying. For example, if other computers can detect the shared folders and yours cannot, you need to fix this issue. In this guide, we’ll show you how you can solve this problem.
My Computer Doesn’t Detect Network Shares
Use the same sharing protocol
First of all, make sure all the computers are using the same sharing protocol. That is to say, there should be no incompatibility issues at this level.
First, type?features?in the Windows search box.
Select?Turn Windows features on and off.
Then expand the?\SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support?category.
The next step is to check all the options. As a result, your computer will support all the sharing protocols.
Apply the changes and restart your computer.
Enable Public Sharing
If the public sharing feature is disabled, certain folders may not visible over the network.
The first step is to launch the Control Panel.
Then go to?Network and Internet.
Select?Network and Sharing Center.
Go to?Change advanced sharing settings.
After that, expand?All networks.
Locate the?Public folder sharing?option and make sure it’s checked.
Then restart your computer.
Check the sharing settings for individual folders
Equally important, make sure to check the sharing settings for the folder you’re trying to share.
Right-click on the folder.
Then click on the?Sharing?Tab.
Hit the?Share?button.
Go to?Choose people to share with.
Select?Everyone?from the drop-down menu.
Go to?Advanced Sharing.
Check the?Share this folder?option.
Go to?Permissions?and make sure it’s set to?Everyone.
If you can’t find the Permissions tab, click on the?Add?option. Then, click on?Advanced, and then?Find Now. The computer will list all the users. Select?Everyone?and you’re ready to go.
Disable your firewall
Some users said that disabling the firewall did the trick. If you’re using Windows 10’s built-in firewall, open the Control Panel. Select?Turn Windows Defender Firewall on and off.
You can then disable the firewall, and restart your computer. Check if the network shares are visible now.
Enable LanMan Workstation
This policy allows users to block or accept insecure guest logons. It could be the reason why users can’t access network shares.
To check if the policy is enabled, enter?regedit?in the Windows search box and launch the Registry Editor.
Next, go to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\Order and HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\HWOrder
Check if the RDPNP,LanmanWorkstation value is set for both of these keys.
If it’s not, you can enable it via the Group Policy Editor.
Press Windows + R and type?gpedit.msc?in the Run window
Press Enter to open the editor
Go to
ComputerConfiguration\Administrative Templates\Network\Lanman WorkstationDouble click on?Enable insecure guest logons
Set the option to?Enabled
Save the changes and restart your computer.
In case the Group Policy Editor fails to edit the Lanman Registry key, follow the steps below. Use the same steps if GPEdit is not available on your computer.
Open the Registry Editor (type?regedit?in the Windows search bar and select the Registry Editor)
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters
Then locate the?AllowInsecureGuestAuth?key
Double-click on it and make sure the DWORD value is set to 1.
Of course, if the AllowInsecureGuestAuth key is not visible, you need to create it yourself. Right-click on Parameters → New → DWORD Value.
In conclusion, fixing any sharing protocol issues is crucial. Certainly, the sharing settings for individual folders are worth checking as well.
Meanwhile, let us know if you managed to fix this problem with the help of this guide.
