Windows 11 Probling with maping a network drive.

Hello,

Certainly! Here are the steps to map a network drive using File Explorer in Windows 11:

1. Open File Explorer:
   
   • Press Windows key + E on your keyboard to open File Explorer.
     
2. Navigate to “This PC”:
   
   • Click on “This PC” in the left pane.
     
3. Access the “Map Network Drive” Option:
   
   • Click the “More options” (three dots) button in the command bar.
     
   • Select the “Map network drive” option.
     
4. Assign a Drive Letter:
   
   • Use the “Drive” dropdown menu to select the drive letter you want to assign.
     
   • In the “Folder” field, enter the network path to the shared folder. Alternatively, click the “Browse” button to select the folder you want to map as a network drive.
     
   • Click “Finish” to complete the assignment.
     
5. Enter Login Credentials:
   
   • When the mapped network drive opens, enter your login ID and password if prompted.
     

Following these steps will allow you to map a network drive using File Explorer in Windows 11. Remember to use the IP address instead of the computer name if you can’t connect to the shared folder. Additionally, if the resource-providing device uses a password-less Microsoft account, you’ll need to create a local account to establish the connection, as mapping won’t work otherwise.

I hope you will solve the problem. And, if you still have problems, feel free to ask us here.

Mapped network drive, Windows keeps asking for password

I've got an Unraid server and one of it's SMB shares is mapped as a drive on my Windows PC. What has been annoying me for quite some time is the fact that Windows keeps asking for the password after every reboot. I've removed and re-mapped the share, I've cleared the appropriate entry in the Windows credential manager... nothing helps. What's even stranger is the fact that Windows does not ask for a password when I browse the server through the "Network" entry in Windows Explorer. It only asks for the password to connect to the mapped drive.

Seriously I'm out of ideas (besides reinstalling Windows of course). Any help would definitely be appreciated.

It seems to me that you might be using the Connect using different credentials setting but I can see that you have repeatedly cleared & re-setup the mapping so that seems unlikely.
Map network drive - TenForumsTutorials
- See Option 1 Step 5 and possibly other paras in the tutorial.

Perhaps you could clear the mapping again,
check that the relevant Registry entry is removed &
map it to a different drive letter just to make sure that no previous mistake could be affecting your subsequent attempts to map it without the Connect using different credentials setting.

Best of luck,
