Unable to access Rock folders via Windows 11 Explorer due to credentials issue (ref#R9MSUI)

Describe the issue

I cannot access my Rock folders using Windows 11 Explorer. I have an Intel NUC. It asks me for my credentials to access Rock and putting in "guest" for both fields causes it to come back to say I cannot access the shared folder because my organization's security policies block unauthenticated guest access. This makes no sense as this is my personal computer.

Describe your network setup

Intel NUC and home network with Rock attached via ethernet cable. Windows 11 desktop. I have Bitdefender as antivirus and firewall monitor. I have turned off the Bitdefender firewall to no avail in solving this problem. I have an Asus RT-AX88U modem.

Did you update to Windows 11 24H2? If so, Microsoft disabled unauthenticated guest SMB access in some Win 11 variants and the instructions in this post will help you reinstate it:

Hi @Gary_Cardinale,
Thanks for reaching out to ask us about this. Did @Suedkiez’s suggestion help you?

Yes, this worked. Sneaky of Microsoft to change this unbeknownst to the user base. Thanks.
