  1. Network drive mapped as 'X' can be seen be not accessed


    Hello everyone. I work for a small charity and we have three windows 10 PCs that have a small network set up. This is primarily to use one MS Access database over the three machines.

    If you try and access the database it doesn't work (only on the main PC, not the 2 slave ones)

    I've attached two error messages if you try and click on the 'drive' in My Computer (and it is marked with a red X)

    Many thanks in advance for the help.

    :)

  2. 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.

  3. Pin to Quick Access on a Mapped Network Drive

    If you use the Network Locations wizard to add a network location / subfolder as above, then you can right click it and pin it to your quick access list. This then works.

    Microsoft, it is definitely a Windows 10 / Samba bug though as if you try to quick add from a mapped network share on a Linux based NAS (QNAP in my case) then although the item appears in the quick access list (e.g. S:\Backups) when you click on it
    nothing happens. You have to browse the mapped drive, which defeats the purpose of a quick access list!

    Please fix this as soon as possible as it is really annoying!

  4. Network drive mapped as 'X' can be seen be not accessed

    Unable to map Network Shares Windows 10


    Hi,
    I've got 2 Western Digital Network drives hard wired on my network, a My Book World and an EX2.


    Since upgrading to Windows 10 I've had intermittent problems viewing and setting network drives. I've read a lot of other posts and tried a number of things suggested without success. WD Support have run out of ideas.

    The WD Discovery tool finds the Network drives, but the box to map network drive is greyed out. I can access the desktop control panel from my browser. If I try to add a network location the drives are not listed. If I try to add the drive letter L: \\WDMYCLOUDEX2\Public the network path is not found?

    I have another Windows 10 computer on the network which can access the drives without issue - so it must be a setting on my PC. Tried disabling my Kaspersky security - still not being seen?


    I suspect that this has been as a result of a windows upgrade?

    Anybody had similar issues?
