Windows 10: 3 External Network Drives no longer connect to Windows 10 after upgrade to 1809

Hi,

I am trying to work through a problem. I recently upgraded to Windows 10 1809 and lost my 3 network drives in the process. I have tried to work through this with the drive manufacturer but have not been able to resolve the problem.


Each of the 3 drives had a mapped shortcut to access it. All of them generate a can't find error when I try to execute them. In the process of working through this with the drive manufacturer, we have confirmed that one of the drives is connected to the router. The other 2 are older models and not tested. Can anyone help?

:)

I understand the inconvenience you are facing with accessing the external monitor in Windows 10, we will help you with this issue.

As you have tried most of the troubleshooting steps, let us know the following to assist you better:
