Question

You can’t access this shared folder because your organization’s security policies block unauthenticated guest access

Hello, I am facing this type of error. I've tried the solutions I've found in this site and it still doesn't work. I was still okay doing it the other day. Might it be related to this updates? The numbers KB5004237 and KB5005539? I've uninstalled the update but it still keeps on reinstalling itself even after I disabled auto-update.

I did but it just requires a username and password instead. I don't think that is the correct answer. The PC has no password on the account and I don't want to put password just to resolve this issue. I might try reformatting this unit instead.

Edit:

Well, yeah it did do the job but the problem is there is a lot of computer so I need to do it to a bunch whole. It's kinda frustrating when in fact it's the only computer that has this problem. A windows 10 at that. All the other computer are still doing good.
