25H2 networking issues

Rollback_Jockey said:

Suprise suprise, so i've updated all my machines today and now discover none of my 25H2 machines will connect, they all demand credentials and then fall on their faces complaining that i need administrator permission, i had a chat with the other voices in my head and we all give each other permission.

Each 25H2 machine will happily navigate my 23H2

I've revisited the recent network issue's thread's and not a single resolution works for me, what am i missing?

I can see all the shared folders but get a demand for credentials.

Edit:- 25H2's will allow access to 23H2, 23H2 cannot now navigate the 25H2's

FWIW, I've had the same issue and could only solve it by uninstalling KB5066835.

CREATE A WINDOWS CREDENTIAL. All kinds of networking issues are a result of Microsoft tightening security for Windows 11 24h2 and above.

Create a Windows credential for an account & password on all computers on your network you are sharing files between. It must be a password, not a pin. While you can still use a pin to login, you must restart the device and log into it using a password at least once for this to work.

Even if you are using the same MS account on multiple computers, a credential should be created for each of the other computers.

In other words, Each computer should have a credential for each of the other computers it is sharing files or printers to/from.

To create a credential:
Go to Control Panel>Credentials> Windows Credentials>add a windows credential

In the "Internet or network address" box, type the name of the computer on the network that you want to access.
In the User name and Password boxes, type the user name and password that you use for that computer, and then click OK.
Note: It must be a password, not a pin.

Are the 25H2 computers on your network clones of each other with the same SID?

Updated 24H2 to 26100.5074 Now Can't Connect to Other Computer

Can anyone explain how to use sysprep to fix a system that's a copy of one that's been in use for years? As for newsid, Sysinternals stopped supporting it back in 2021, and their web site says Microsoft has disavowed it. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/newsid As for...
