Yes, this is a MS issue. They have no problems waking up my system in the middle of the night to install updates, but can't fix a simple folder share on a basic network. By assigning each Win7 a password in Managing Credentials section, taking another step of using run: netcfg -d to clear the current network settings with reboot of all machines sharing network drives across my lan worked. For each machine it is easy to use RUN control userpasswords2 to fine tune password and login.
You are so Absolutely Correct. And yes!!! This is a ridiculous issue for so long for so many Same thing for me, After doing battle and searching forums for about a day and a half trying to hook up my network I killed the power to everything, PC's Modem the lot, and went to work.
That evening when I came home I powered up and it just worked. And I have no Idea why. Right Away. Thank You. I am grateful. I changed my dns server to my routers IP address with the same static IP address and it worked. I dunno if this might help some of you, but I've wasted a LOT of time on this problem so its worth a shot.
No more updates for me. I have this common problem. I have tried most everything mentioned in this thread without success. But the XP could not get the Win10 Home files. Now with two Win 10 Home and Pro files cannot be shared between either. Computer 1 — Win 10 Home. Connects to internet successfully. Computer 2 — Win 10 Pro. Adapter Setting — WiFi.
Advanced Sharing Settings. Guest or Public. All Networks. Volume Properties. Results — Windows 10 Home. Results — Win 10 Pro. Services — Win 10 Home and Win 10 Pro. On a newly installed Windows 10 Enterprise now at Build My 'upgrade' CD was the Build so I let it do all the updates up and including the April update as well as the Oct update to Build ? This errant PC can browse itself. Have tried to enable Workgroups on all machines duplicating the unique workgroup pwd and then tried removing the Workgroups.
Nothing so far will allow Win 10 to browse this one machine. No success there either. Don't like MS? Then erase your Win and install your favourite version of Linux. Finally I started Peer Networking Grouping service on Win10 machine and voila all of a sudden all my Win7 machines show up under Network. After disabling IPv6 and setting up private networking, enabling SMB in windows programs and features in Win 10 fixed everything for me. I've been battling this Credentials issue all day on one of my home computers that's been on loan to my nephew-in-law.
I brought it home yesterday to install the latest Win10Pro Feature Update, version last night. Once I added new Windows Credentials for each of the other computers, all is well. I'm thinking the older hardware doesn't have the ability to handle the task by itself.

Fix the damned problem. Monday, July 17, AM. A normal join of a work group plus the usual sharing adjustments just don't work. It is something in the guts of the shared elements of 10 and Server and frankly I have a hard time believing MS has made such a mistake, heard so many complaints, and still refuses to fix it.
After all, they have no problems maintaining a persistent connection to most Windows 10 machines from Redmond, so i think they know a bit about networking. Sunday, July 30, AM.
Friday, August 4, PM. Have to agree. Trying to bail out a small office that's as plain jane as it gets and as stated by others am seeing the same thing with homegroup sometimes working then if left unattended for 10 minutes symptoms change. All workstations are Windows 10 Pro. Workstations sometimes see a home group to join but sometimes do and sometimes don't after timing out and then stating there are no homegroups to join.
They then will try to create one which may or may not fail as well. This while other workstations are able to join and even share. Wait 10 minutes and the situation may change.
All are able to access INET and local apps are working except ones that need sharing of files. Worst networking sw I've run into from MS ever.
Monday, August 7, PM. Not closed at all. Still having the same issues. Ghost homegroups, can't see computers on the network and the advanced sharing settings change themselves with every other Windows update. So I get call after call saying "My scan to folder stopped working. I spend days of every week setting the sharing options back to my preferred settings on dozens of PCs.

Thanks for keeping this thread alive. Sunday, August 20, PM. I chose not to reload Operating sys. Friday, September 1, PM. Mine stopped working after the big spring update. Old win7 updated to win 10 and new computers with win 10 installed. Keep hoping the next update will fix it. The other way I get around this is map a drive. I agree with all, MS really screwed us up. Based on searching this has been going on for some time. This thread is the newest I have found.

Tuesday, September 19, PM. Here is simply what worked for me in my office Then I did a Network Reset. I had to do this on each computer in the office. Hopefully this will help someone. Good luck. From the linked article: For home and small business users who use Network Neighborhood to locate Windows computers, you shoud map drives to the computers so that you no longer have to browse for them. To identify which computer is the Master Browser you can run the command nbtstat -a ComputerName for each computer in the Workgroup.
