Windows 10, can ping other PC but cannot access shared folders! What gives?

I have a computer running Windows 7 that shares a Git repo on drive D. Let's call this PC "win7". This repo is the origin of a project that we push to and pull from.

The network is a wireless network. One PC on this network is running on Windows 10. Let's call this PC "win10". Win10 can ping every other PC on the network including win7. Win7 can ping win10. Win7 can access all shared files on win10. Neither of the PCs have passwords.

Problem: Win10 cannot access any shared files on win7, not from Explorer, nor from Git Bash or any other Git management system (E-Git on Eclipse or Visual Studio). So, win10 cannot pull/push. Every other PC on the network can access win7 shared files and push/pull to/from the shared Git origin.

What's wrong with Windows 10?

I have tried these:

Control PanelAll Control Panel ItemsNetwork and Sharing CenterAdvanced sharing settings File sharing is on, Discovery is on, Password protected sharing is off

Adapter SettingsPropertiesQoS Packet Scheduler uninstalled and re-installed

Adapter SettingsPropertiesFile and Printer Sharing uninstalled and re-installed

- Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts

All of these were tried to no avail.

So what have you tried to enable file sharing on the Windows 7 machine? Have you tried HomeGroup yet?

Are the user names and passwords the same between the computers?

You haven't told us exactly what happens when you try to access Win7 from Win10. Do you get an error?

AT LAAST!! After 4 month, and seeing the error for the second time, I found the solution here:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4046019

Turns out, if you type the ip in "Run", and only in "Run", a very specific error shows up that contains this message: "your organization's security policies blocks access..."

Searching that lead me to this solution:

Open "Local Group Policy Editor" by searching in Start Menu or going to Run and running gpedit.msc, then go to Computer ConfigurationAdministrative TemplatesnetworkLanman Workstation and:
"Enable insecure guest logons"

And that solved the problem.
