Almost all access issues stem from the second level, which is often forgotten. </div> <p>If you know what to do, it takes five minutes; if you’re just guessing, it could take an entire afternoon. Follow these steps in order, starting from the computer sharing the folder to the one connecting, plus what to check when things don’t work. This procedure works for Windows 11 and, with slightly different menu names, for Windows 10.</p>
