I'm having trouble with my Windows 11 computer connecting to a shared drive on the network. Other devices connect just fine, but my PC can only ping the shared drive's host and attempts to map it always return an 'incorrect credentials' error. This setup worked initially, but I've tried re-imaging the computer, making sure passwords are correct, and even rolling back Windows updates. Does anyone have suggestions on what might be causing this issue?

Have you checked if NTLM is disabled on your Windows 11 PC? It could cause issues with connecting to the share.
Make sure you're using the correct PC name when entering your login details. Sometimes putting in PCNameUsername and then your password can help, even if you're not on a domain.
Also check if the file share allows guest or anonymous access. If it’s set up for that, you might get connected without needing credentials.
Don't forget to check the TLS settings! Windows 11 often disables older ciphers, and if the share is using something outdated like TLS 1.0, it could be the culprit.
Thanks for the tip! I’ll look into that.
I tried that, but no luck.
