    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.

    - - - Updated - - -

    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.

    Trying to map a folder on a certain program to a network drive

    cannot open files on network shared drive

    I have used a small handful of applications that just won't open a \\host\share\file.ext

    Annoying, but there may be a workaround, try mapping the share to a drive letter:

    In Explorer, Tools > Map network drive...


    Trying to map a folder on a certain program to a network drive map-network-drive-1.png


    Then choose an unused drive letter, and the shared folder.


    Trying to map a folder on a certain program to a network drive map-network-drive-2097.png


    This will work for most programs as it'll see K:\kitchen.kit
