Win11 / 24H2 .....unable to access local network (Moode on RaspberryPi4)

Have been successfully viewing my RPi4/Moode (audio-player) instance over local network for some years now.
Yesterday...I noticed that I'm now unable to view the Moode folders (Windows cannot access \\MOODE)
However....I DO have networked access to the RPi/Moode player.......and don't understand what is going on here?

I understand that some problems with network connectivity have arisen in 24H2......but is there a solution available to remedy this?
Please help!!

Due to increased security Windows now requires credentials to access shares.

Try this. You have to do this on each computer that access that device's shares.


CREATE A WINDOWS CREDENTIAL

Create a Windows credential for an account & password on both client and server computers you are sharing files between.

To add a password to your Windows vault:

Open control panel>credential manager.

Click Windows credential on the right.

Click 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. This can be the NetBIOS name (example: server1) or DNS name (example: server1.fabrikam.com).

In the User name and Password boxes, type the user name and password that you use for the computer that is sharing the files, and then click OK.
Sorry, I can not tell you how to set up a password in your Moode

Doh.....!!
This is exactly what I needed! I'd forgotten to switch on Samba file sharing....once I did that, was asked for windows credentials, then Bingo!
A senior moment, and yet another opportunity to emerge as a plonker.

Thanks again!
