"Failed to connect to target share" when trying to scan

When I hit F6 on my computer (localhost, machine with Windows 10 Pro 1703 with PDQ Inventory installed) I get "Access Denied - Failed to connect to target share" in scan status. Why's that? It's not a domain, it's just small workgroup - other computers (with Windows XP) are successfully scanned.

There's a variety of things that could be causing that. This article may be helpful: https://support.pdq.com/hc/en-us/articles/220533007-Can-t-access-ADMIN-share-using-a-local-user-account

Disabling Remote UAC solved the problem. Thank you very much!
