    Cannot install software directly from network, mapped drive


    I have a FreeNAS server. In windows 10 I've mapped a few drives to shares on it. Everything works ok except I cannot install software from it I have a folder containing all the software that I use and I want to install it on my Windows 10 boxes without making local copies, which works . When I try to do so double click it says "We can't verify who created this file" and then "You do not have permission to access \\192.168.0.100\path to executable"

    :)

    Trouble Mapping Network Drive

    I have a WD NAS drive connected to my router and have mapped it on three of my computers. I just setup another laptop with Windows 10 and have updated it to 1809 and when I tired Mapping a network drive nothing is displayed in the browse window except the
    computer I am currently using. The drive is shown under network locations in File Explorer but not when you select map network drive and browse. I right clicked on the drive and selected properties and noted the IP address and went back into Map network drive
    but instead of selecting browse I entered the IP address but it still does not map the drive. The strange part is if I go to any of the computers that already has the network drive mapped and select Map network drive and select browse none of those computers
    show the drive either but you can select the mapped drive in the drive list in file explorer and it works just fine.

    I have read several articles both here and elsewhere and tried the suggestions but nothing works. Network discovery is turned on as is file sharing and also checked if all three boxes under SMB file sharing support in Windows features were also checked and
    they are. I have mapped several computers to several different drives over the years and anytime the drive was not listed it was always easy to go into Network Sharing Centre and find the problem but everything seems to be as it should so would appreciate
    if someone can suggest something I may have overlooked.

    Thank you

    Mapped Drives Issues

    To clarify .... the issue is the Windows 10 OS. It is with Windows File Explorer. The Mapped drives used to appear in File Explorer's left panel list of drives and folders. Two days ago File explorer stopped show the mapped drives. so not they don;t appear in the list of Drives and folders.

    - - - Updated - - -

    I did, it has no effect. I also check the NAS devices they support SMB 2.0. Also I have several other computers on my home network they work fine with the mapped drives and They do not have SMB 1 turned on. So it is something that happened to the computer in question.

    Cannot install software directly from network, mapped drive

    I cannot re-map network drives that used to be mapped.

    I am having difficulty re-mapping network drives that I used to be mapped to.
    I have a VAIO SX14 laptop running Windows 10 pro 21H1. I used to be able to access mapped drives on a Dell 7010 PC running Window 10 Pro and a Sony VAIO laptop running Windows 7 Pro. All three machines are WiFi connected to my network.
    I was out of the country recently for a few weeks and took my SX14 with me. I stayed in hotels so used their WiFi internet with my Nord VPN set to the USA.
    Since I arrived back in the USA, I can no longer open the mapped drives on the Dell or the Sony laptop.

    1. I have turned off my VPN and Anti-Virus software and Windows Defender Firewall. Also I have checked all the usual settings including Internet Properties, Network and Sharing Center, and Advanced Sharing. But nothing worked.
    2. I uninstalled the latest Windows 10 update, but still nothing changed.
    3. I compared the settings on the Dell PC to my SX14 and all were the same.
    4. When I browse for a folder when trying to map a network drive, the only thing that shows is the SX14 that I am trying to map from.
    I can still access the Sony laptop from the Dell PC and vice versa, so I assume the network is OK. But neither machine can access the SX14 laptop and vice versa.
    When I open “This PC” the mapped network locations each shows a green check mark which changes in about one second to a red X.
    I must be overlooking something.
    Does anyone have any suggestions about where I should look next? I do have a recent Image of the SX14 drive created before I was out of the country but to restore it would be my LAST resort.

    I wanted to post a few more pictures showing the settings, but they would not upload.
