Windows 10 | 0x80070035

Update: In my case, I was able to fix the issues by re-installing Windows using the installation media over an existing Windows 10 1709 installation. I chose to keep files and applications and once after the re-installation successfully completed, achieved the desired results.

Update: Basically this is a bug, which doesn’t affect those who were keeping on upgrading from builds to new builds (ie from 15xx to 17xx). Affects most of the users who did clean installation of 1703/1709 which is yet to be addressed by Microsoft. My case, I did an upgrade from 16xx and resetting the TCP/IP, Winsock etc did the damage for me (Well, it realized that, this issue also exists ;) )

Today, I managed to realize that by just unchecking OK, Checking again and OK combinations on File and Printer Sharing Services for the network adapter fixes the dreaded issues until a restart.

Here are the workaround solutions until Microsoft finally releases a patch/update for it.

Hi guys

Recently I tried to enable mobile hotspot on my Windows 10 (1709) Pro machine at work that is a domain member. By the time I figured out that the connection issues clients connected to the ad-hoc network were purely related to some authentication issues with our UTM device…it was too late.

I did enough damage to the network stack of my box, reset winsock, rebuilt TCP/IP, resetting the firewall.. and after fixing the issues with mobile hotspot, started having issues with the HP printer and a particular folder that I share with my team.

Both the printer and shared folder cannot be accessed over network, the funniest part was from my local machine itself I couldn’t access the shared folder by calling it like

\\mymachinename\foldername

So as usual I tried to fix the issues using Windows trouble shooters and all the time I was getting the same info “0x80070035” and further diagnostics gave me:

“The device or resource <<HOSTNAME>> is not set up to accept connections on port “The File and printer sharing (SMB)”.”

I tried to find more details, especially about the above statement and unfortunately, none of the questions asked by users in relation were satisfactorily answered by Microsoft.

Then I landed on a Microsoft page @ https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-networking/windows-10-pc-rejecting-incoming-connections/a36974c7-3208-4489-ad44-962838c38b29

The last contributor asks Is “File and Printer sharing for Microsoft Networks” enabled under the properties of the network card?, for obvious reasons I was sure that this service is enabled under the network properties of my Ethernet device.

Logically, my next approach was to uninstall this service from the adaptor, re-install it. Immediately after reinstalling the service, all the shared assets from my laptop were accessible over the network.

Still not happy, I rebooted the machine, to find out that the shares were once again having the same issue(s).

0x80070035

So I uninstalled and reinstalled the “File and Printer sharing for Microsoft Networks” service and this time reset the Defender Firewall to defaults. Instead of restart I did a shutdown, waited few minutes and restarted it.

As I am drafting this post, I have checked the access it is working perfect. Will reboot one more time to insure that this fix is permanent.

I don’t know the technical reasons behind this erratic behavior, however it looks like one more time uninstalling and installing the “File and Printer sharing for Microsoft Networks” fixes the issues (minimum for now) & until a reboot.

If you are facing the same issue(s), why don’t give it a try.

regards,

    Did you ever figure out a way to automate this process via a script bat file to run as a task on each reboot. I am a bit of a novice and I can’t seem to find a working script to do this. I have to disable file and print sharing on my network adaptor with each reboot of the machine. Would be nice to automate this.

    1. Hello Ben, there are multiple choices. You can use the ISO media of Windows 10, the same version of Windows 10 Build you are on right now & do a installation, choosing keep files and applications. 2nd choice is creating a simple batch file, that will uninstall file & printer sharing each time when the PC starts and re-install. Prior proceeding with either one of the above said, please do let me know whether you can manage it yourself. You may forward me teamviewer id/password by email, if you trust enough so that I can show you both the methods.
      regards,

    2. Create a batch file with the following content

      netcfg /c s /u ms_server
      netcfg /c s /i ms_server

      save this as, say “fs.bat”. Create a Task using Task scheduler and execute it with highest privileges, during each restart of the PC

      If you need additional assistance, please do let me know

      regards,
