Simplify and unify Windows network sharing with other versions and network devices
I’d like to suggest improvements to the Windows 11 network file sharing experience. Currently, sharing folders/devices via SMB is inconsistent, overly technical, and difficult to troubleshoot for average users.
Sharing often fails due to mismatched permissions, hidden settings, or confusing "advanced sharing" options
The process lacks modern guidance or wizards to streamline configuration
rem: The only way I could use the NVIDIA Shield Media Player was to uncheck “sharing with password protection” which is security technical dangerous. Everything else failed.
Request:
-Introduce a modern, user-friendly interface to share folders and devices with full control and real-time status
-Offer automatic troubleshooting and diagnostic tools when sharing fails and feedback to the requestor application
-So offer better integration within Windows environments and non-Windows devices (like Media Players).

You can send an email to Microsoft with your feedback. That's definitely a good idea.
