    The mapped network drive could not be created...


    We have 4 networked computers, 3 Windows 10 and an Ubuntu. After one of the last updates the only way I could get on my wife's computer was to use this format: \\JIMS-PC\Users\Suzy, when I used to browse to her computer through the Map Network Drive her drive didn't show up. Now when I attempt to go to her drive using that format I get this error:

    There is no problem getting on any of the other computers. And she can get on my computer. Any ideas?

    :)

    No Mapped Network Drive Letter Created In Windows 10 Anniversary Edition

    I have the HOME edition so I probably can't help you with this. The networking features are different between the two. Maybe someone with PRO will chime in.

    Best of luck!

    p.s. - In spite of how it appears in File Explorer, have you tried accessing the drive letter from a command prompt?

  3. No Mapped Network Drive Letter Created In Windows 10 Anniversary Edition

    I have several different Windows 10 PCs. So far I am running "Windows 10 Anniversary Edition" (AE) on only one.

    On those PCs not running AE, when I map network drives I get a drive letter which can be directly addressed as, for example, "M:\". Standard Windows stuff that I've been doing for many years.

    On the one PC that is running AE I can no longer address networked drives I've created by drive letter. The reason? I experimented and found that "Map Network Drive" now works the very same as "Add a Network Location". No drive letter is created.

    Indeed, I did both these processes on the AE PC and the resulting connections both showed under "Networked locations".

    This is a show stopper. We have many, many apps in our shop that point at networked drives.

    If you have done an update it in effect a new PC with different credentials even if names are the same the Sid isn't. Trying to connect to a share that's in the user profile is hard as even as admin on the PC by default you have no access. Create a new share outside the profile see if that works

    I have no idea what you are suggesting, I don't know what a Sid is and I don't know how to create a new share outside the profile, I'm not even sure what a profile is, sorry*Sad

    My last update was about a month ago, I've been able to access her computer since then. Her computer is waiting for the next update, she keeps stalling it. I don't access hers very often but I do check all my network connections after every update.
