     You keep saying that, but there must be something set incorrectly,   
   because it used to work and now it doesn't.   
      
     And for example for Paul's  AI generated advice, you say you checked   
   most of it, but you should not check most of it, but all of it.   
      
     As I said before, you have the problem (and the (configuration)   
   information, (error) messages, etc., etc.), we don't, so you will have   
   to do the work, the checking, etc..   
      
     As, like most essential information, you haven't mentioned it: Which   
   shares do you have configured on the Windows 11 laptops and how did you   
   configure them, i.e. the '[Share...]' settings?
