Windows 10: System Error 64 when trying to map a network drive from XP to Windows 10

Hi,I have an issue since I have re-installed Windows 10.Before I could map a network drive with NET USE on a Windows XP computer from a shared folder in WIN10.Now, when I try this again, I receive the system error 64.When I try to connect from Windows 10 to XP and map a drive from there it is working.Trying to access the drive from WIN10 to WIN10 gives me the username and password screen that's correct.I use McAffee as firewall, but it seems it uses windows defender rules.I can ping the IP of WIN10 from XP.Any idea what I can check?Brgds,Heiko

Windows 10: Mapped network drives not showing up until sign out/restart?

In maybe the same tin...

Stumbled into a problem:

Scenario:

• Mapped a network computer drive to be E:\ on a laptop
• Worked with no obvious problems - plug in a USB stick and it would take the next drive letter up
• Then networked computer serving the mapped drive was not available - showed as not available on the laptop.. OK

Problem:

• Plug a USB drive into the laptop - fails to show in Explorer. It appeared as a device; but not as a file system - guess Windows was trying to assign it to be drive E:\ - but that was held by the Map
• The Map drive letter could not be released - Un-Map or Delete refused to clear it
• Only solution was to put the network server back online and then clear the Map on the laptop.

I was sure I had never had this problem before... but... all of my Windows 8.1 computers are now Windows 10 (10240 and 10525). I cannot test on Win 8.1. I still have a Windows XP computer - tested it... no such problems - dead network drive maps are easily
deleted.

 

Mapped Drives Issues

To clarify .... the issue is the Windows 10 OS. It is with Windows File Explorer. The Mapped drives used to appear in File Explorer's left panel list of drives and folders. Two days ago File explorer stopped show the mapped drives. so not they don;t appear in the list of Drives and folders.

I did, it has no effect. I also check the NAS devices they support SMB 2.0. Also I have several other computers on my home network they work fine with the mapped drives and They do not have SMB 1 turned on. So it is something that happened to the computer in question.

 

Copying or moving files to and from a mapped network drive fails in Windows 10 Home

Hi Matthias,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

I understand your concern about sharing files on network drive.

Kindly let us know if your device is connected to domain network.

If not connected I suggest you to try the below:

Make sure Network discovery is turned on and both the computer is in same home group. Steps to follow:

• Open Control Panel window
• Select Network and Sharing Center
• Select Change advanced sharing settings
• Under Network Discovery, select Turn On network discovery

Also refer to Microsoft article about: Create a shortcut to (map) a network drive

(Applies to Windows 10 as well)
