Netgear R7960P Readyshare issues with admin vs guest users Windows and IOS

I have read a lot of posts about readyshare, and can access my router USB shares from Windows 10 (and 11) using my netgear router admin login and password. Where I am stuck is in accessing the shared folder I have set to All - No Password. No matter how I change and apply various readyshare configurations on my router, I can only access the "Music" share using the admin login credentials.

Router firmware is latest.

Appreciate any help or suggestions, and hopefully the attached jpeg answers any questions about the details of what I'm doing and what should be a fairly simple set-up, pretty much like I think the product manual describes...

      Yes; I tried deleting and recreating the shares, but still not working....

        We'd like to know the following:

         

        What is the exact firmware version of the R7960P?

        Have you tried using a different USB drive? If yes, does the issue persist?

        Does the issue happen to the accessible folder when set to 'All - No Password' as well?
