Microsoft loves 20 ways to do one setting. It is a madness.
Um... Linux???
But once you learn the 20 ways... you get paid a bunch for support! hehe.
@@ChrisTitusTech i like that hehe at the end!
As an older-than-dirt sysadmin, as soon as games perform about the same on Linux overall I will never ever touch Windows again. I'll take it out back and put it out of it's misery.
I agree, the main thing is standardization and I think valve with SteamOS could fix that for the normies. Windows is just a dumpster fire these days, but I'm grateful for it. We have made quite a living off Microsoft's Shenanigans.
Tried setting up a share drive to make transferring files from my laptop and main rig and vice versa. Kepting banging my head into my desk when i couldn’t open up the share drive on my laptop. Realized I needed to add “everyone” in the permissions. Thanks for the video!
I have been learning a lot from your videos . Keep it up .Thank you and stay safe
One thing you could mention is later when you've forgotten what folders you have shared and how to find them.
1) Click Start: Type Computer Management
2) Click Shared Folders
3) Click Shares
Thanks, man, your guides helped me a lot.
Thanks Chris! I also use the reg keys for adjusting catecories, but most folks may not feel my confort level in the "REG." LOL
Been using PCs for decades and remember still how easy it was in 95 and onwards security is great but the nerds that make this stuff seem so focused on functions that they forget user interface. But thanks Powershell seems to be a new friend that I had not yet discovered as an experienced user I only tend to delve into stuff when issues arise :) thankfully its been an easy ride up until this issue.
honestly I hate this thing about Windows, including sharing printers
Video about sharing printers between different versions of Windows would be really helpful.
Hey Chris I’d appreciate if you can do a quick run through on setting up and configuring a nfs server. I’ve been thinking about converting my samba shares but I heard that nfs can be quite picky about its configuration.
HEY ChriS, Pls do one for Linux. Had a nightmare trying to get Debian to share folders with Windows PCs. Driving me insane!
Samba can be a hassle here was an early video I did about it. Samba Sharing in Linux: czcams.com/video/oRHSrnQueak/video.html
@@ChrisTitusTech Thank you so much I'll take a look👍👍
@@ChrisTitusTechi used samba to upload files to qemu vm running macos after following your video about a awesome git repo, simple_macos_kvm. tbh i did use chatgpt for my questions but it worked great. gotta say tho, i corrupted my windows fs in my dual boot a while back, and lost my product key. i am now forced to linux in everything except for a crappy windows experience in qemu im working on, but thats because of my gpu-less laptop
can you share it without using your machine's account? for instance, if im sharing with a specific machine on the network, it is possible to add the machine/their account? or it that only with using a domain?
Wow, this video is unusual! I'm taking notes and trying to create something similar on my channel. Keep up the great work!
A guide on sharing printers on Windows would be much appreciated!
Likely a dumb question here for most people but...how do you have your PowerShell looking like it does at 4:30 in the video?
SMB between Linux and Windows sucks. But for Windows to Windows shares and for Hyper-V VMs SMB 3.1.1 should have good performance, locking and encryption features. How does that compare to NFS under Windows, especially locking?
Hi Chris , Thanks for tip about using power shell to switch the network type. Just in regard to the Everyone account, I always believed this meant “everyone who has an *account* on this computer as against quite literally everyone ?
Everyone including no accounts, like guest. That said, with password protected sharing setting, it will deny non-authenticated accounts.
can you share your knowledge about PowerShell as course
Hello Chris
Can you make a video solving "managed by your organization" issue on Windows 10
Perfect video finally can transfer files
Once in a while, I have network accessing problems. I want to access a shared PC x and I can't until I reboot that PC. Or when I'm transfering files to my PC from another PC via wifi-router-ethernet and the speed is below 6MB/s and I remote desktop that remote PC, the speed bumps up some megabytes.
I ran your optimization tool and then I cannot get to any of my computers in the house. I suppose I will try this later.
How can I add folders at the second computer ? I don't want to type the path every time I want to get something.
Yo Chris, what do you use for ur context menu?
right click context menu**
Can you link the smb - nfs video? Thanks definitely interested in this topic
Here you go! NFS Windows sharing: czcams.com/video/mOoO9mFE7BI/video.html
Hey Chris, love your video's.
How do you not use a MS account, was forced to using it and couldn't find an alternative?
@@Douglas_BlakePretty sure that doesn’t work anymore.
with windows 10, during windows install you tell it you dont have any internet. then go thru the rest of the motions. create an account. either just press enter for a password if you dont want one, or make a password. make sure the machine is finished installing and has rebooted for it to take effect. after that when you update windows your local account wil still work. if at any point before that you hook it up to the internet it not let you make that local only account. ms is a bit evil like that amoungst other extremely shady aspects.
ubuntu dde vs linux mint!! What is your thought?
Off-topic: Chris, do you know where are the mouse settings saved on Windows? In my case, I changed the sensitivity of the mouse pointer, but when I restart the computer, it resets the settings that I had applied before restarting the computer.
And the reason I want to know where the mouse file configs are saved is because I want to create a script to auto set up the settings when I boot up my computer. Thank you so much.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse]
but you might have a 3rd party driver or mouse software installed which is causing the problem
@@vavas98 Thank you.
Trying to log into a Windows 10 machine I'm re-purposing as a home server/NAS. When I try to log into the computer, Windows is aking me for credentials! In Windows 7, I shared from my password protected ADMIN account without an issue ... is that forcing the requirement for username and password? I don't want this as I use local accounts and do not have or want an MS account. I am essentially setting up a share for my Family to access pictures, music, and other documents at home. Why so complicated!
since windows comes with ssh these days for me the easiest way is this:
- enable ssh server
- set up a "remote" user with "remote" as password (as a ssh-bonus: one can go a bit further and set up public-key auth)
- use any CLI (cmd, pwsh, putty) and use SCP or gui versions like winscp with a nice commander view
With portmaster is not possible would be cool if you post a solution to bypass it just for file sharing
I'd also like to see how to setup a file server for a network that runs multiple OS'. I'm running a dual boot between windows 10 and linux, and my kids run windows 10 and 11, and I'm wanting to use Linux for the server's operating system. I'm working on building a machine from old parts to act as the server, so this would greatly interest me.
Just use samba
@Douglas Blake yes I more my comment was directed at him not you :)
Just a tip, in Add Permissions in Security tab in Properties you don't need to type "Everyone", in most cases typing "e" is enough.
For many iOS file explorer apps, I use the Microsoft account login and password, yet I’m not able to sign in, it shows incorrect credentials.
What about NFS linking to an android device?
I put password sharing off and it still asks for password. The only fix I found myself was adding some extra stuff in windows programs
Getting my Manjaro-Gnome box to see my Win 11 shares was....fun...
Hi Sir Problem is I am Running old Program on Windows 11 The is crashing 10 To 11 mint themselves
Please kindly fix my problem 😢
Good video, but I think the title is a little misleading.
With all the weird obscure things that can cause networking stuff to not work as expected, I thought maybe something was going on because of a Windows update or as the result of some 3rd party software the might require getting into the weeds to fix.
Hey Chris,
I need your serious help man
I am using your windows debloat utility from last 2 years no issues so far
But from last 1 week
I am stumbled upon a major problem (already clean installed ws10 pro 3 times but still stucked)
I am using windows 10 pro
The moment I clean install (with all windows update and drivers update) alongwith debloating
everything works fine for exactly 2 days
after that
Internet access for windows app is gone like crazy no access to internet
Whereas it is working fine for everything just fine like chrome, spotify etc
also working fine on windows sandbox
I am on ethernet connection on a DEsktop
I dont know whether it is something wrong with scheduler or what that it restricts internet to native apps after like 2 days.
I tried plugging in an external usb wifi dongle still same issue
I am very frustated
tried each n every fix available on internet but can't resolve it
please help
Please
I don't want to use windows without debloating PLease help 😫😫😢😢
You said this in another video. Report the issue on the Github.
I watched the full 8:44 minutes video for 10 seconds information and did everything on my system, but from the other PC, it still asks for the password!
I wish they would add dark mode for control panel. I know they’re trying to replace it but Jesus it wouldn’t be hard to just change the color
Mr. Chris , very totural without any result. you have not made a windows iso for gaming. then prove to us that you are really a tech.
I never get my pc to project on my Saphi Philips TV through WIFI. So i can't access HBO Max.
never ever give full control permission to any user account, otherwise technically it can happen that somebody locks the administrator out by taking ownership ( with full control right you can change owner) :) - If I'm correct
Doesn't this setup increase the risk of a malware infection or ransomware spreading throughout your network? I'd like to see a tutorial on how to setup sharing on a home/small network in a way that restricts malware from pivoting from machine to machine.
Malware likes to spread through mapped drives, which bypasses almost all authentication. The second issue is SMB being the most used and exploited protocol. If left unpatched it will go through no matter what setup you have.
@@ChrisTitusTech I think that even patched SMB shares, without authentication, would be a risk.
Perhaps one could use UNC paths or non-persistent drive mappings in some way to reduce the risk? Non-persistent mappings would, at least, disconnect when one logs-out or restarts the Windows client. Configure alternate user credentials to access the share. And Windows SMB servers will time-out user logins after 15 minutes of inactivity (configurable), while Windows clients can be configured to not store network logon credentials. I **think** this would then require a user to re-enter their credentials after 15 minutes of inactivity.
Obviously, this would be annoying and counter-productive for shares you use regularly. But for something like backup targets or archival storage, it might make it harder for malware to corrupt those shares.
Just thinking out loud.
@@Douglas_Blake Actually, mapped drives are not significantly less secure than smb or nfs shares that use no or IP-based authentication. They also pre-date UNC paths by about a decade.
@@Douglas_Blake SMB was not created to get rid of the problem of IP-based authentication. SMB was developed to share resources between computers running OS/2 and originally ran over NetBIOS/NBT, so it had no concept of IP addressing.
NetBIOS over IP didn't come until several years later, around the same timeframe that SMB over TCP/IP was introduced.
what about sharing between windows and android
Android can't mount file shares by default. Nvidia shield has built in option to mount windows/samba shares but I'm not aware of another device that can do it (unless rooted). Some apps can connect to samba (windows) or NFS shares but it's on per app basis. Your best option is cloud storage like Nextcloud or Google Drive.
Next time you do a video like this, can you fix Windows Server? It never works.
Raspberry os always giving me crap for sharing.
Never had an issue between Windows PCs with SMB.
Also not everyone likes command lines.
The sooner better GUIs are made the sooner Linux will overtake Windows.
Windows Permissions are a real pain.
You would think they would ship their software working right out of the box.
I've phvcked with this grrbage for years. I wish they would jsut get rid of HomeGroup and all that grrbage, and just go back wot WIndows XP sharing on everything. The only thing I've ever got to work is password protectied sharing and 46bit... the old legacyt stuff.
yea, i wont use 11 again. i went back to 10 on my machines. also i only use local accounts i refuse to have to login to microsoft to use my own damn comptuer. thats bs.
Somewhat of an unrelated question, but do you know, or anyone else reading this, any way to circumvent giving away one's phone number to companies such as Microsoft during an account creation? There are some dodgy websites out there that let you use so-called 'fake' numbers, though of course Microsoft has ways to detect these in order to prevent people from evading their absurd demands.
It's somewhat frustrating to be honest and I wish someone more experienced in tech would help me out.
😊
Well...I know this veterinarian that could fix it...
Why are people still using RUN? Just start typing in the start menu. Windblows shares are OK until the DNS goes sour or the networking of the machines is messy, then enjoy troubleshooting crap.
tip for computers with only local accounts(for home users): create a dummy account with same name and password on all pc in network, share login + password with all users so when they want access of any shared folder they put always same credentials
Local accounts are the way to go 😂
I HAAATE WINDOOOOOOWSSSS!!!! 😭😭
"messing around like you do" People never just do a step one step tow tutorial where you show people and they follow along. This crap never works its 2023 and my parents have to walk back adn forth with memory sticks because no one can do a step one step two tutorial with proof it works. Everyone wants to make a video and just like you said your self "mess around like you do"
Sadly.... Microsoft account is pure evil.
