We are experiencing a problem with file, folder, and program sharing on a network between computers running Windows 10 and Windows 11. The new computers with Windows 11 cannot access another computer over the network (error code 0x80070035).

We kindly request your assistance in resolving this issue. This is a serious problem as we are a public sector organization with more than 200 computers on our network.

    Hello Nadia, I am Henry and I want to help you with your issue.

    I understand that your new Windows 11 computers are unable to access network resources and are showing error code 0x80070035 ("The network path was not found").

    I've done some research and found a Microsoft support document that may help resolve the issue.

    Additionally, another thread shared a solution using three specific commands, which several users confirmed as effective. For quicker implementation, I've listed those commands below. Note that these steps are essentially the same as those outlined in the original document I mentioned.

    Click the windows key, search for and open PowerShell (run as administrator), enter the following command and press enter:

    • Set-SmbClientConfiguration -EnableInsecureGuestLogons $true -Force
    • Set-SmbClientConfiguration -RequireSecuritySignature $false -Force
    • Set-SmbServerConfiguration -RequireSecuritySignature $false -Force

    Restart your computer and check if the problem is solved. (Click enter for each of the three commands above)

    I hope this information and these keywords help point you in the right direction for your research. Let me know how it goes, and if this answer helps, feel free to hit “Accept Answer” so others can benefit too
