In this video, I will tell you How To Fix Cannot Access Shared Folder Error in Windows
the way that I tell you works in All Windows Versions from Windows 7 up to the latest Windows 11 update.
If you see this error that says you can't access this shared folder because of security policies, do this:


Press the logo + R and then type regedit

In this way Windows registry opens for you

Now follow this path


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters

Create a new DWORD if you don't see this option.

AllowInsecureGuestAuth

Right click, then create a new DWORD(32-bit) value

Click on it, then set the value data to 0 or 1 based on what I tell you.

0 means anyone can connect to the shared folder

1 means the users need to type the username and password to connect into the shared folder.

If you set zero, your network security becomes too low.



I just added a username and password to easily access the shared network.
search on Windows Credential Manager, then open it
As you can see, on Windows credentials, I added a new Windows credential.


I hope this video helps you fix your network problem.
