Question

Hi,
I have a shared folder on a PC with Windows 8.1 witch is accessed from 3 or 4 PCs (Windows 7, 8, or 10).
Last week the Windows 10 PC had an update, and since then all its acesses to the shared folder are read only.
I have tried all I could remember, but couldn't solve the problem.
Anyone has a clue about what's happening?

As this started after an update, I went to Settings - Recovery in order to roll back last update.
After it finished first tests show it didn't solve the problem, as the shared folder still is accessible only in read only mode.

What credentials does the Windows 10 machine use to access the share on the 8.1 machine? (thinking they are saved in Credential Manager).
Do they give the expected access if you check the Share permissions and folder permissions on the 8.1 share?

Are you sure that you are accessing using an account which has RW access as the effective permission after combining the share and NTFS permissions? You should check on that.

Go to your Windows 8.1 machine, right-click the share folder and move to share Properties, make sure it has the correct permission configurations for your users.
Then, go to Windows 10 machine, Control Panel\User Accounts\Credential Manager, delete the saved credential for your share folder.
Restart Windows 10 and Windows 8.1.
Access again.
Regards

I already checked the permissions (all PCs are using the same user to access the shared folder).
I also created a new user on the Windows 8.1 PC, gave it full control both on Security and Sharing, then deleted all credentials on the Windows 10 PC and tried with the new user, but it did the same.
However it didn't ask for credentials it just said the folder couldn't be found until I supplied them to Credential Manager.

Ok that is odd. So if you browse to this folder and right click do you get a full set of options? Can you create a new text document?
