Persistent Network Credential Prompt

Question

• I have 2 computers on the same network.
• Windows 10 and Windows 11

I am trying to access Windows 10 PC from my Windows 11 PC. They are both set up on the same Outlook/Microsoft account. However, when I go to try to access my Windows 10 PC (or vis versa) the prompt for credentials pops up and no matter what I put in, the prompt rejects my access.

1. I have disabled the requirement of credentials on both computers and enabled file sharing.
2. I disabled the firewalls on both PCs. Simultaneously and individually.
3. I tried to access via IP address.

But the prompt still appears and still rejects my access, even when I try to use my Outlook/Microsoft account information.

Any help would be appreciated. I am mainly trying to access files on my Windows 10 PC from my Windows 11.

Answer 1

If anyone else has answers, I would be very thankful.

1. Go to Settings -> Accounts -> Sign-In Options -> Under Additional Settings -> TURN OFF "For improved security, only allow Windows Hello sign-in for Microsoft accounts on this device.
2. Disable any Antivirus program you may have for temporary purpose.
3. Open Windows + R -> Type ip of other computer -> in tht password prompt -> Type Username .\USername or OtherComputerName\Username
