Windows 10: Drives do not reconnect / Preferences missing from Group Policy Editor

Hello. Here is our situation:

Network computers (all Win 10) have mapped shared drives. They lose connection when the computers reboot and we have to enter the admin password every time.

Solution I thought we'd try:

I read that going to the Group Policy and changing drives from "recreate" to "update" would do the trick.

New challenge:

My GPE does not have the Preferences tab which, based on this screen shot I found, should be there. Here is the image. It is probably not Windows 10 but it does look like what I would have expected.





Mine looks like this:





Bottom line:

Any suggestions as to how I can change those settings from Recreate to Update? Any other known way to get our drives to automatically reconnect? I've never had this problem before.

Thanks for posting known solutions, not guesses.

:)

gpedit.msc missing windows 10 version 1511 os build 10586.29

Hello Joe,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft community.

Are you using Windows 10 Home?

If yes, Group policies are not supported in the Home version.

Things that differs Windows 10 Home from Pro and Enterprise editions is the absence of the Group Policy Editor console (gpedit.msc).

The Group Policy Editor has not been included into home editions (Home and Starter) of the OS since Windows XP, and Windows 10 is no exception.

Unfortunately, without gpedit.msc you cannot disable One Drive.


Hope the information helps. Do reply if you need further assistance.

Thank you.
