Explanation
Credential Manager stores saved usernames and passwords for network resources, websites, and applications. After Joe changed his password, the old credentials cached in Credential Manager became invalid, triggering repeated authentication prompts.

Network and Sharing Center manages connectivity settings, Security and Maintenance handles alerts and maintenance tasks, and Troubleshooting runs diagnostic wizards-none manage stored credentials.
