Running Windows 10 build 19044.2006 (with previous this was working fine) I want to mount a remote shared folder that is on a Debian Samba server:

//server/folder

got the prompt for credentials (user:giacomino and its password) > press OK > got again the prompt

Looking on server side log I see that currently inserted credentials are ignored and replaced with those:

[2022/10/13 13:43:46.829803,  3] ../../auth/ntlmssp/ntlmssp_server.c:509(ntlmssp_server_preauth)
  Got user=[WLF5] domain=[WWF5] workstation=[WWF5] len1=24 len2=248

  check_sam_security: Couldn't find user 'WLF5' in passdb.
[2022/10/13 13:43:46.829997,  2] ../../source3/auth/auth.c:344(auth_check_ntlm_password)
  check_ntlm_password:  Authentication for user [WLF5] -> [WLF5] FAILED with error NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER, authoritative=1

WWF5 is the hostname, WLF5 is the windows user.

Why Windows send it's user insead of giacomino?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
