"You can’t access this shared folder because your organization’s security policies block unauthenticated guest access"

1. Open Local Group Policy Editor
2. Go to Lanman workstation
3. Change the setting of Enable insecure guest logons from Not Configured to Enabled
4. Save changes and try again.

You will need admin permission for some of these.

1] Using Group Policy Editor

 

Open the Local Group Policy Editor. You can press Win+R, type gpedit.msc, and hit the Enter button. Alternatively, you can search for the same in the Taskbar search box.

After opening the Local Group Policy Editor, navigate to this path-

Computer configuration > Administrative Templates > Network > Lanman Workstation

On your right side, you should see a setting called Enable insecure guest logons. Double-click on it, and change the setting to Not Configured to Enabled and save your change.

Now, you should not get any problems.

2] Using Registry Editor

There is one more way to enable the functionality in Windows 10, and you can use the Registry Editor to get the job done.

Before tweaking any file, it is recommended to backup all Registry files. Then, open the Registry Editor on your computer. For that, press Win+R, type regedit, and press Enter. You need to select Yes in the UAC window. After that, navigate to this path-

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows

Here you need to create a key named LanmanWorkstation, only if it does not exist already. To generate the key, right-click on the Windows key and select New > Key. Following that, name it as LanmanWorkstation.

Now, select this newly created key and right-click on the right side > New > DWORD (32-bit) Value and name it AllowInsecureGuestAuth.

Set the Value data of this REG_DWORD value as 1 and save your change.

Fix: Windows Cannot Connect to the Shared Printer (0x00000002 – Printer Connectivity Error)

 Error 0x00000002 can occur when trying to connect a shared network printer (from the Print Server or the local TCP/IP port) in both Windows 10 and Windows 7. After you have opened the list of shared printers on a remote computer (via UNC path \\computername), and clicked the Connect button, an error appears

The error 0x00000002 means that the driver of this printer installed on the computer is corrupted. First of all, you should try to remove this driver from the driver store (if you get an error 0x00000057).

Run this command:

printui.exe /s /t2

In the list of installed drivers, find the printer driver you want to reinstall and remove it by clicking Remove and select the Remove driver and driver package option.

Restart the spooler (net stop spooler & net start spooler) and try to connect your printer again.

It is likely that the driver will be installed and the printer will connect successfully.

Otherwise, try the following:

1. Remove this registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\PendingFileRenameOperations;
2. If there are any subfolders with the names from 1 to 499 in c:\Windows\System32\spool\prtprocs\x64, delete all of them except winprint.dll;
3. Delete all Print Processors and drivers (except winprint) from the reg key HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments;
4. Restart your computer and connect to the shared printer.

As a workaround, if the previous methods haven’t helped, connect your printer via UNC path following the instructions in the article How to Print on Windows 10 Network Printer from XP.

Yellow triangle warning on C Drive on Windows 11/10

 If you face a "Yellow Triangle Warning on C: drive" in Windows 10, then continue reading below to fix the issue. The "Yellow triangle with an exclamation mark on Drive C:" (or other drives), comes from BitLocker, because the BitLocker Encryption on the drive is not activated yet and shows "Waiting for activation". (in Control Panel -> BitLocker Drive Encryption).

The BitLocker warning, can appear after installing a Windows 10 update, or after completing the Out Of Box Experience (OOBE) on a new purchased laptop or desktop that support BitLocker.
