Hi Keith,

We suggest that you disable Credential Manager before mapping your Drives. Please follow these steps to disable Credential Manager:

• In the search box type “Services”
• Right click on “Services” and select “Run as Administrator”
• In the Services Window, look for Credential Manager Service and click “Stop”.
• Restart the computer and go back the Credential Manager Service and set it to “Automatic”.
• Restart the computer again.

Please keep us updated if you were able to map your drives.

 

Credential Manager error in WINDOWS 10

I resolved this issue on my machine by

• Close Credential Manager if it's open
• Opening up Edge, going to Settings - Advanced Settings - Privacy and Services - Manage my saved passwords.
• Delete all of your saved passwords
• Close Edge
• Open Credential Manager - Web Credentials

It should open and work normally.

I'm guessing that Edge and the Windows 10 Web Credentials panel get out of sync somehow and the error occurs. After I did this the Edge saved passwords panel was empty... I'm not sure if you should see the Windows 10 Web Credentials also within Edge saved
passwords?

Anyway, it works now!
