Error accessing Workgroup share between two workstations

We have a very small two station network.  Two workstations are being used to share data.  The layout is as follows:

Computer1 is a Windows 7 Pro workstation.  This is the workstation where the shared folder is located.  The folder "Data" on the desktop of computer 1 was shared on the workgroup and given full access rights.

Computer2 is a windows 10 pro workstation.  This workstation connects to Computer1's data folder to store and retrieve data.

Up until two days ago, everything was working fine.  Today however, the user on Computer2 reports that the share that was setup to Computer1 no longer works.  The user gets error 0x80070035 when trying to open the share.  We researched the error and found a few documented solutions change some parameters in the secpol.msc app and such but it is still not functioning.  If we setup a share on computer2 and then try to access it from computer1, it works fine.  The other way it fails.  We also get the error "Invalid Handle"  We also researched that error and applied several "Fixes" but still no joy.  We are stumped at this point and ask if anyone has any siminlar issues and the fixes for them.
