    Can't Open Network Folder with Programs

    [/quote] Click to expand... Not sure what I'm looking at here. I removed everything anyway, but it seems to have no effect. Not sure what I did there.

    I was just going through the network location "DRAGONFLY" listed under "Network" in the left-hand pane. Even my desktop shortcut just pointed to \\dragonfly\trunk. Following your train of thought, I went ahead and went to This PC > Map Network Drive, and set it up that way.

  3. KB3185614 Not allowing Network Shared Drive Access

    Hi Nivay,

    To address your concern, we would like you to check the following:

    • After updating, check your Network profile under Network and Sharing Center, make sure that it is set to Private and not Public.
    • If you are using a third party antivirus software, make sure that the
      Network drive
      is set to Trusted.
    • Ping the network drive and check if you're getting a reply.
    • Access the network drive through it's IP address via run field and not through the existing shortcut, then check if it is accessible.
    • If the network drive is accessible via IP address, we would suggest you to re-map the network drive and delete the previous one that has the red X mark.

    Thank you.
