Windows7 not share with Windows 10

network-sharesnetworkingprinterwindowswindows 7

I have two machines
Machine(1):

  • Windows 10
  • 192.168.20.11
  • File and printer sharing : Enable

Machine(2):

  • Windows 7
  • 192.168.20.12
  • File and printer sharing : Enable
  • Share printer
  • connect Shared Drive on the server

Both machines are in the same network and in the same subnet and the same domain. If I try to open the shared folder in Machine(2) to connect to the shared printer in appear in the network. But when I press it the progress-bar and show me there is no user called Machine(2)!

error message while sharing

I access Machine(1) with another PC that has Windows 10 and no problem. I made Machine(2) share the printer and it works but sometimes the printer stops the share unless I remove it and reconnect it.

The question is why?

Yes it solved it that was the Windows update v.1709 it install new feature called SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support has three options one of them was disabled I check it as the follwing:
1-click start button search for feature
2-search for SMB 1.0/CIFS
3-you will find it contain 3 option with checkbox make sure the three is enabled
