Some times after running Windows updates or re installing the OS we may face issues with sharing folders in our computer over a network. We may get an error message "An error occurred while trying to share"

The Server service is not started . The reason for failure in sharing folder is due to the stopped state of lanmanserver service on your computer.if you are trying to share a folder but you get the error:

Here are some things to check:

• Under Network Connections, check to ensure File and Printer Sharing is checked under the Properties of the connection.
• Go to Start > Run type net start server and press Enter

After starting the lanmanserver you will not face any issues in sharing your folder over a Local Network.
