Windows 11 Network Share Not Found

Have problems with Windows 10/11 PRO that cannot access Samba shared folders without password?

You click on the device and errors like that show to you?

Error code: 0x80070035

The network path was not found.

Well… fixing that is easy… after you found how. It took me 3 days of trial and error to make that crappy protocol work in 2025 🙂

Steps to fix that:

1. Start Group Policy Editor (WIN+R, then gpedit.msc – it’s not available by default in Windows Home)
2. Go to Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options
3. Double click on Microsoft Network Client: Digitally sign communications (always)
4. Select Disabled then click OK

1.  Still in Gpedit go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Network > Lanman Workstation
2. Double click Enable insecure guest logons
3. Select Enabled > OK

Close GPEDIT. Done.
