    I am using the newest update put forth in my post about not being able to access some setup programs in my computer. The problem was solved and I am using Windows 11 22H2 (Build 22621.963).

    Now I am having another problem: my Windows 11 and 10 computers cannot access each other's shares and reports a 0x80070035 "The Network Path was not found" error.

    Here's what I tried on the Windows 11 end:
    1. Pinging. It registers the 10 PC's IP address as pingable.
    2. Updating using Windows Update.
    3. Enabling Network Discovery
    4. Assigning a manual IP.
    5. Typing out the full path of a share.(\\Windows10Name\Share)
    6. Using the target IP, both as itself and with a full path. (\\192.168.1.12\Share)
    7. Disabling password protection.
    8. Changing network profiles from public to private.
    9. Add SMB 1.0 to Windows Features.
    I can't find anything else that should be done that would remedy a situation. The one I did not do was to downgrade to an earlier build of Windows 11.

    Assistance appreciated.

    or \\192.168.1.xx\myfolder

    That's what I did.

    That's in the list of what I tried so far.

    Set both PC in private network profile;
    Re-enable password protection;
    Set a password on the PC with the shared directory;
    Grant Full Control permissions to the shared directory (under Advanced Sharing, in Properties) for the password protected account;
    Access from another PC on the same LAN to the PC with the shared directory by the credentials that you have setting up on that PC.

    Usually it's better to use the IP instead of the HostName when you type the address, because sometimes could be fails.

    I made another offline account on the sharing machine, I tried typing the full path of the share both with the computer name and the IP, and still nothing.

    Can it be the driver?

    This is embarrassing: it is the driver.

    I mixed it up with a Windows 10 driver.

    Problem solved.

    Could be a configuration issue in the router check the settings and do a ipconfing/all make sure both machine are in the same subnet and network ID.....i dont think is a driver issue....also if your using any third party app like a antivirus or firewall turn it off ....if that doesnt work go into the services snap in and turn on this services to AUTOMATIC

    I ran across this somewhere and it works for me:

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters]
    "AllowInsecureGuestAuth"=dword:00000001
