Windows 10: Installing an MSI from a mapped SharePoint drive

Hello all,I have a situation where a customer needs software deployed to all machines, which we have put a GPO in place for, and works well, however, a few years ago they moved the majority of their files to Office 365 Sharepoint, and have moved the rest a couple of months ago.Due to the nature of most businesses these days, the majority of people are home working now, and because they have SharePoint files have no need to VPN in anymore, so GPO's don't work, or automated scripts to pick up the installed from the on prem DC.They have the sharepoint site mapped by GPO which is persistant, and u

cannot map my sharepoint 365 as a network drive

I recently upgraded to Windows 10

Since the upgrade I am no longer able to map my SharePoint 365 drive as a network drive

Is this a problem with compatibility between Microsoft Edge and SharePoint 365?

Is there a way to map to the SharePoint 365 drive?

Mapping a List with Sharepoint

I'm trying to map a List for a client from SharePoint to file explorer. The issue is that the link I was provided to map is not a folder or a document; it is a list page, and the normal usual method of mapping a shared drive through file explorer isn't working,
because that method doesn't like the .aspx ending.

Other advice has been to go to SharePoint via Internet Explorer and I should see a tab labelled "Library" and from there I can open it in File Explorer etc. I can't see that Library tab, because this particular item isn't a document or a folder, it's a List.
Elsewhere in SharePoint I can see the Library tab and can successfully open in File Explorer etc, because those other pages are actual documents.

Is there a way to connect to a List as a shared drive in File Explorer? My feeling is that this isn't a thing that can be done.
