Where can you enable SMB client and SMB Server on Windows 11…I have a PC that was upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11 and now cannot access certain network shares, whereas they were and are accessible in Windows 10

Listed here is a previous post which mentions this:

"The first time I looked SMB client was turned on and server was not. As I know I made no changes I thought this was the correct settings. Turns out I was wrong. SMB Server also needs to be enabled. Enabled, rebooted and tested. Yay! it works. Just as a test I truned it off, rebooted and it did not work. "

What type of SMB network shares are you trying to access? I would look at the firewall rules first to see if file sharing is blocked

We have a Windows Server 2019 Shared folder that a couple users who when logging in on a Windows 11 machine cannot access the shared folder but when logging in on a Windows 10 machine they can access it.

When you upgrade from 10 to 11 Network Discovery is turned off. You might have to re-enable that.

5

If you’re mapping the drive manually would network discover being off be an issue, still waiting to hear back from the user if this is in fact off as they are a remote user.

6

turned network discovery on and now when trying to map the drive get “remote procedure call failed”

does SMB need to be enabled on the server that the share is on?
