Why does windows ask for a username and password when logging into a network folder?
There are computers running Windows10 (ver2004), let's call them A1, A2, ... and computer B.
Local user accounts have been created on them - they are all the same.
That is, users Ivanov1, Ivanov2B... and Sidorov. On computer A1 Ivanov1B works on A2- Ivanov2,..., on computer B Sidorov works. All users have their own passwords.
Each computer has shared folders with rights for all Ivanovs and Sidorov. Everything was fine - users worked at their computers and accessed network folders without any questions.
But one day Windows began to request a username and password from users Ivanov1, Ivanov2... when logging into network folders.
If you log out of the system and log in again using the password of the same Ivanov, then the network folder is entered without asking for a password, but after a while, when you re-enter any of the stevy folders, it asks for the user name and password. You can enter the name and password of the local user - it will let you into the folder.
You can remember the name and password in Windows Credentials - it also helps only for a while - then the passwords disappear. Only computer B with the user Sidorov remained special.
It enters all network folders without asking for a password. But it was originally a twin of computers A1, A2, ...
The difference between computers A1, A2, ... and B - ClassicShell was installed on A, and it seems that after installing it, problems with logging into network folders began.
Can someone explain the reason for this Windows behavior? And how can you fix it?

In general, you somehow set it up incorrectly, because walking from one computer to everything in one locale is not comme il faut.
And about your problem - if your computers are part of one WORKGROUP, then it has some tendencies to glitches, I personally used it for a very long time, but I remember exactly that there were periodic problems with printers on the network. In addition, I do not exclude that you have some kind of software a la ccleaner, which cleans computers from "garbage" according to the schedule, incl. wipes your pretzels to the network balls. Look at the system logs, look at the schedulers.
Buy any budget NAS server, or assemble it yourself on a separate computer with a SAMBA share and explicitly distribute rights for specific users in SAMBA, rather than scattering rights between accounts on computers.
>But once Windows began to request a name and password from users Ivanov1, Ivanov2... when entering network folders.
everything is simple, when the user Ivan Petrov entered the correct login and password and clicked the "remember password" checkbox. and then this remembered password for various reasons flew off.
> then passwords disappear.
ClassicShell
well, as it were, the left software is not entirely useful. check on a clean config. for viruses.
The answer is here if you are too lazy to read this is another win10 update glitch, though the Indians write OS
