Main PC can no longer find the file share for my game server

Go to solution Solved by LukeSavenije,

problem specific to 1809 it seems... the best you can do is downgrade or wait for a fix

I have a PC that I set up for use strictly for running game servers. However, I can no longer access the file share on the server using file explorer from my desktop. My laptop and a couple of other PCs around my house can still access it just fine, just not my main desktop. Which is aggravating because it's the one I mainly use to remote into the server. Remote Desktop still works from this PC, just not file explorer. I've attached a screenshot with an error code.

Try restarting "function discovery resource publication" in the services app.

Since updating my windows install I often have to do this before my main PC is able to pick up my server's network shared drives.

My ability to easily revert to an older version is not available, so it seems like my best option is waiting for a fix. Thanks for the response.

Thanks for the suggestion, I tried it but with no luck. Looks like it's back to using a flash drive on the server but still remoting into it.

Give this a try on your main PC

 

Type regedit and click OK

Navigate to the following path in regedit
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

For 32 bit system, create a new DWORD value called LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy
For 64 bit system, make a QWORD (64-bit) called LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy

Double Click the new key to Modify
Set the value to numeric 1 and click OK.

Restart your computer and try to access your shared drive

Thanks for the suggestion, this was actually one of my previous attempts at fixing it. Did not work unfortunately.

Have you tried disabling IPv6? 

Which Windows version is running on the Game Server?

 

You could also try doing this:

 

Open regedit
Navigate to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters\
Create D-WORD AllowInsecureGuestAuth

 

Since its specific to file sharing - you could lastly try enabling SMB1.0 for testing purposes..

(Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off > Tick "SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support" > OK

I've also tried both of these with no luck. I spent about 2 hours troubleshooting yesterday with no solution.

I'm running Windows Server 2016 for the game server. But I don't think it has anything to do with the server considering that my laptop can still use the file sharing with the server. And my laptop is on Windows 10, I think it's on 1803 though.

Guessing using the server's domain name instead of the ip address doesn't worth either?

Can you try the registry key i added in my last post? 

If it still doesn't work - maybe check Control Panel > Programs and Features > installed Updates 

And try uninstalling any KB's that were recently installed (since the problem started happening)

Different error code, but it's the same issue, works for remote desktop, but not file sharing.

You could also try the net use command. Even if it doesn't work it might give you a better error message then the super detailed 0x80004005 unspecified error.

 

it I remember right it should go something like this.

 

net use * "\\192.168.254.100\sharedfolder" /persistent:no

 

Edit, I should mentioned 'sharedfolder' was just a placeholder. You need to change it to a name of an actual shared folder on your server.

Like I said, I've already tried the regedit solution, it did not solve the issue.

I'm removing update that were done in the past couple weeks to see what happens, I know I was able to access it around the end of last month.

Just tried this, here is what I got.

Alright, deleting updates up to about two weeks ago seems to have solved the issue. Windows is still on 1809, but I can now access the shares again. It does seem to be an issue with 1809 though. The other systems in my house are running 1803 still and have no issue connecting to the server for file sharing.

Glad you got it working.
