10162 - won't prompt for network credentials


Recommended Posts

I am always connecting to drives and shares on other networks. Instead of Windows just asking me for credentials, it gives me a pop-up saying permission denied, WTF. I even tried creating and saving a Windows credential in the manager for a specific IP, even that didn't work. For example, say I need to connect to \\192.168.131.8\C$, it won't prompt.

 

What's the work around for this? I'd say about 70% of the time it's not asking and just denying.

 

Thanks!

Did you set the username in the credential manager as computer name\username  instead of just username

Of course :D These are domain machines (multiple domains) so I do the domain\username to log in using my domain account instead of the local admin account.

 

I'm thinking there must be a default setting that got changed or something somewhere in W10 for this so it prompts always for credentials. I never check the box that say remember anyway, just personal preference since I work with so many different networks and configs.
