Windows 11 computer can no longer access Windows 10 computer shared files after update

I recently got the update package for Windows 11. Immediately after, I can no longer access network shares on a Windows 10 computer in the same network. I've tried adjusting sharing settings on both computers, but nothing changes the prompting for a password due to "network security".

My PC doesn't even show in the shared list.

What settings were changed with this update that could prevent sharing?

    Hello

    If your system is Windows 11 24H2 version, I suspect the issue is caused by SMB signing. I recommend that you open PowerShell as an administrator and run the following command to disable SMB signing and restart your computer to see if the issue can be resolved:

    Set-SmbClientConfiguration -RequireSecuritySignature $false

    Set-SmbServerConfiguration -RequireSecuritySignature $false

    If the problem persists, please reply here with a screenshot of the error message that appears when you try to access a shared file, as this will help us troubleshoot the issue.
