Error 0x80004005 when attempting to access Network share

[djeyewater]

I have shared folders on my laptop and PC. PC is on Win 10 Pro 1803 Build 17134.407. Laptop is Win 10 Pro 1803 Build 17134.345. Neither can access the shares on the other, trying to access gives Error 0x80004005. The only relevant thing I can find about this error is lack of SMB1 support. Presumably Windows should be using SMB2/3 instead, so I followed the advice in this article to check SMB2 sharing was enabled. On both machines I have run:



Get-SmbServerConfiguration | Select EnableSMB2Protocol

which shows true on both



Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters | ForEach-Object {Get

-ItemProperty $_.pspath}

which shows on the laptop:

EnableAuthenticateUserSharing : 0
ServiceDll : C:\WINDOWS\system32\srvsvc.dll
ServiceDllUnloadOnStop : 1
EnableForcedLogoff : 1
EnableSecuritySignature : 0
NullSessionPipes : {}

and on the PC:

sc.exe qc lanmanworkstation

which shows on both:

The only odd thing I can spot is EnableAuthenticateUserSharing : 0 on the laptop, but I assume that if that was causing an issue, it would only affect accessing the laptop from the PC, while I can't access the PC from the laptop either.


Does anyone know how I can fix this?
