Title: Remote Access to Windows 10 prompts for password to networked drives
Post by: dcook216 on June 01, 2016, 11:51:17 AM

Hi. I recently installed TeamViewer 11 on a Windows 10 computer that is networked via a workgroup to windows 7 computers. If I log directly into the Windows 10 computer, I have no problems access my network shares and network computers.

When I log in through TeamViewer, I try to access the network drives and I am prompted for a user name and password, of which the credentials I use never work. I have entered the user name as COMPUTERNAME\USERNAME for the computer I am trying to access and just as the user name but neither worked.

I am assuming that the reason for the prompt for credentials is because TeamViewer is logging in with a TeamViewer account, and not as a Windows account.With Windows 7, this wasn't an issue and I don't want to create user accounts just for TeamViewer access. Is there a setting somewhere that I need to make to allow access to network drives on a Windows 10 computer?

Extras >> Options >> Security

Do you allow Windows logon?
