Dear Jonghoon Kim,
Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A forum support.
I understand you are experiencing an issue where one Windows 11 Home computer cannot access shared resources and does not prompt for network credentials. This is likely due to a misconfiguration in sharing settings or credential handling on that specific machine.
Please follow the steps below to resolve the issue:
1. Enable Password-Protected Sharing
Go to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Advanced sharing settings Under All Networks, make sure Password protected sharing is turned on.
This ensures that Windows prompts for credentials when accessing shared resources.
After completing this step, continue with the next.
2. Clear Saved Credentials
Open Credential Manager from the Start Menu. Go to Windows Credentials and remove any entries related to the target computer.
This forces Windows to request fresh credentials instead of using outdated or incorrect ones.
If the issue persists, proceed to the next step.
3. Set Network Profile to Private
Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi or Ethernet > Properties Ensure the network is set to Private.
A private network profile allows device discovery and sharing features to work properly.
After completing this step, continue with the next.
4. Use IP Address Instead of Hostname
Try accessing the shared folder using the IP address of the target machine:
Press Win + R, type \\192.168.x.x\SharedFolder, and press Enter.
This bypasses potential name resolution issues and directly connects to the target device.
Best wishes,
