Fix shared folder error

ERROR:
“No more connections can be made to this remote computer at this time because there are already as many connections as the computer can accept”.

CAUSE:
Windows 10 Pro has a built-in limitation that typically restricts the number of simultaneous network connections to 20. This limit primarily for SMB (Server Message Block) connections, which are used for file and printer sharing.

SOLUTION:
Using regedit (Registry Editor). I recommend to backup registry first before proceed.

  1. Open Registry Editor as administrator.

  2. Go to this location path:
    Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters


  3. Right click on empty space, New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.

  4. Name it “MaxMpxCt” and the value is based on how many users, in example is 150 users, then press OK.

  5. Repeat step 3.
  6. Name it as “MaxWorkItems”, follow same value as above, 150, and hit OK.

  7. Restart computer and check if all users can access, then its working.
  8. To check how many users are currently connected to your computer, use “net session” or “net session | find /C “\\”” in Command Prompt (Run as administrator).

    net session : is to list active sessions
    net session | find /C “\\” : is to count number of active sessions
