I dont have any problems connecting to my Pis from my PCs with Win 11 Pro, maybe because of old NAS i have enabled smb 1 on Win 11.

Also experiencing this, I have even tried setting SMB Client minimum protocol version to SMBv3 and still not able to access the filesystem
I understand there is a legacy workaround available, but is there another way to connect without compromising on security? Thank you

Did you set Samba user/password in LE-Settings Addon?

LE defaults the Samba server credential to libreelec/libreelec and this can be changed to whatever you like in LE settings.

Did you set Samba user/password in LE-Settings Addon?
I had credentials there (probably because of default setup) but did not have require authentication enabled! Thank you, I was looking in Kodi Services menu, and not the LibreELEC Settings > Services menu..
This is the preferred solution vs. sparkplug's sugestion of Group Policy modifications for Win11 machines.
Perhaps LE should have 'Use Samba Password Authentication' as enabled by default now that Win11 is gaining?
Thank you!
