Situation: 2 machines on single non-domain LAN. Local user accounts. Networked File Sharing worked perfectly.
Changed: User switches to using a Microsoft Account to login to the same local account. Both machines are using the same Microsoft Account now.
Symptom: Machines will no longer share, constantly prompts for "network credentials". (Nothing seems to work!)
Solution:
1. Settings>Sign-in options> Disable "Require Windows Hello sign-in for Microsoft Accounts"!
2. Remove Windows Hello Pin (force password login)!
3. Reboot machine.
4. When prompted to enter network credentials use the format: MicrosoftAccount\username@maildomain and correct current password (not PIN!).
For whatever internal reason, file sharing will not work if a Windows Hello PIN is enabled. Must use a password login.
