Hi there,

 

I recently set up my PC with a new installation of Windows 11 after using Windows 10 before. I changed nothing on the Unraid system

 

Before the switch, I could easily access my files from the Unraid Shares (at least certain Folders that I specifically shared) via the Windows Explorer.

Under Windows 11, I can still see my "TOWER" in the Explorer, but when I try to access it, I get an error (code 0x80070035)

I'm not sure what went wrong. I was looking through the threads that have similar problems and tried some of the solutions, but most do not have quite the same problem as they cannot even see the "TOWER". I know asking for a solution that is probably buried in this forum somewhere is a little rich, but the mountain of different ways to attack this is a little overwhelming. So if someone has a specific idea to my problem, that would be super helpful.

Thanks for considering to help.

Not uncommon with new installs of Win11.  Have a look at the first post in this Thread:

 

     https://forums.unraid.net/topic/110580-security-is-not-a-dirty-word-unraid-windows-1011-smb-setup/

 

Understand that MS is continuing to tighten security what files can be accessed by casual browsing on a network.

Thanks a lot. The guide helped me a lot. I recommend everyone give it a read.

My solution in the end was simply put this:

1. Add a new user with password to Unraid. (Users - > Add User. Remember the credtials.)
2. On the Windows PC go to "Windows Credentials Manager" and make sure, that you have the login credentials of that user stored for the login to your Unraid-server.

 

As long as the settings of the shares you want to see and edit on your Windows-PC are set to "public", it seems to do the trick.

I'm still a bit baffled as to why this didn't just work with the original user. But okay.

Wow!   This worked!

 

Long story short, I updated my Plex server to the newest OS recently and then it wouldn’t boot.   Fast forward about a day and i’m having to rebuild my USB stick with Plex and settings as I hadn’t backed it up for a couple years.

For some reason, while the parity check was running, i was still able to access content from every device.   
Then, i somehow lost access around the time it finished…..i could “see” content on all devices, but play button said “unavailable”….

Also, my login was no longer valid from my Win11 machine (to copy files), as it said “access denied”.

 

But I just did what you said & created a new user in Unraid Profiles,  made sure those credentials were also in Win11 Credentials Manager.

then…Boom!  Everything works again.

thanks!!!

What I suspect happened was that one of the three password files in the /config folder on your USB boot drive got clobbered during the rebuilt.  As a result, your  client computer could not log in.   (This has happened to several other folks recently.)
