Hmmm, I'm stumped with this one...

I have a couple of XP machines on my network. Both are configured to be visible on my network and I've had no problems accessing them from Vista or any of the Windows 7 builds up to the newly leaked 7057.

Having installed 7057 (fresh install) neither of my XP machines are visible. Normally I can just click on the Network icon in Windows 7 and they appear.

Naturally I've checked all the relevant settings that I can think of but normally the only setting I have to adjust is the Workgroup name.

I noticed an option to alter file sharing encryption settings to 128bit or 40/56bit. What does XP use? I wondered if perhaps (by default) it uses no encryption at all and that's what causing all the problems. Note that I do not use a wireless connection as I have a wired LAN.

All I need is one way access to the XP machines. I've never had any problems with this before. It has always "just worked" out of the box. If it's a bug then I'll be forced back to an older build.

Has anyone managed to network build 7057 to another PC running XP? Any other suggestions that might help? Thanks in advance.

Given that I'm using a wired (not wireless) LAN, where would I find encryption settings on my XP machines?

Found here : Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings

That has no bearing on this bug dhan. The 7057 build definitely has a problem networking with XP. It connects but shows no icon(s) for the XP machine(s) in the Network window. The only way you can browse the network is by typing in the path manually. Changing encryption settings makes no difference to this.

Roll on RC.

I'm actually having a reverse problem: I'm trying to share a folder on my Windows 7 machine. No problems with Vista. XP (SP3) sees the folder but can't access it ("insufficient privileges" or something like that). I've tried all sorts of variations on net use, nothing. Any ideas?

choose "turn off password protected sharing" in advanced sharing settings for that network type you are using.

It's been off. Still doesn't work. I'm wondering how mature this build really is - the desktop.ini coming up in notepad right off the bat would indicate half-baked at best. I know it says RC1 when you install it but this is a leaked build, hardly believe they really meant this to be the RC

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.

      Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

      It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
