Hello. After one of the Windows 10 Professional updates, I lost access to my network drives. I am getting an error: "You do not have access to this release certificate, the security policy of the non-authenticated access organization. This security policy of the organization against dangerous or malicious devices on the network" I have 50 computers in my local network and this problem is on 2 on them. System: Windows 10 Pro 20H2.
Please help.

2021-04-16T05:48:01.127+00:00 Hello,
The problem already occurred a month ago (10-11 March). I uninstalled most of the updates for that day except one (KB4598481)) because it cannot be uninstalled.

Thanks for your feedback.
May I know after uninstalling the updates, if the issue still existed?
Have you tried to delete the mapped drive and re-map it to see if the issue can be resolved?
What's the status of current mapped drive? If the status is there is a red X on it or it was disappeared directly? Could you please help to provide a screenshot for further troubleshooting?
Best Regards,
Sunny----------

This happened right after my last Windows Update: I now see version

2021-04-16T12:21:51.29+00:00 Yes, the problem still existed, but as I mentioned, I was unable to uninstall all updates (KB4598481).
I didn't map a network drive on these computers. These computers used a shortcut of application located on a network drive. When I wanted to access these disks, I would type the address in the command line or in the file explorer. Of course, mapping network drive on these computers was possible before, but not after the updates.

Thank you very much for your update.
My understanding is you can access the shared folder via \IP\shared folder before you installed the recent update. And after installing these updates, we cannot access to the shared folder.
Please try to turn on Password Protected Sharing from the control panel to see if it works properly for you.
Click Start and open the Control Panel->Click on the Network and Sharing Center->Click Change advanced sharing settings which you can find in the left side->Click the arrow next to All Networks to expand the section->Select Turn on password protected sharing option under Password protected sharing->Click Save changes.
Best Regards,

Yes, before installing the update, I could access to the network drive, and after installing the update I can't access to network drives.Unfortunately, I do not have the "Password Protected Sharing" option in my system

Please open a CMD window with admin privilege->run the command wmic qfe list brief /format:table to see is the KB4598481 was listed. If yes, please run command wusa /uninstall /KB:4598481 to see if it can be uninstalled successfully.

Steve Oldham 0 Reputation points2023-02-06T23:35:33.1166667+00:00 I have a script that synchronises two drives on different PCs. Just spent a age debugging this previously working script to find that, after a Windows upgrade, the shared status on an updated PC had been removed. Whyyyyy!!!!!!
