Not only did this not work, but now it is throwing an error when I try to access my credential manager. Good work all around

no joy, still the annoying popup and no access, even with all that crap turned off, made no difference

Hi Mate. I did all of that and I still get the pop up "Enter network credentials"' . I have tried to replicate what I have on another PC...but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

I have two PCs and both have the same account based on my Windows Live Account that I also use for OneDrive and Office 365.
So I use my Windows Live account for my PC. So my user name is the email address for my Windows Live account. Is that correct? And my password is my Windows Live password. Is that correct?
For some reason I can access the files from my laptop to my desktop no troubles. I don't even recall entering a password. But it's the other way that doesn't work, even though I have set up shared folders exactly the same on both computers.

One thing I am unsure about in your video, I can't tell which PC you are modifying. Is the PC whose folders you want to access OR is it the PC that you using to (unsuccessfully) access the other PC?
