  1. Windows 10 keps creating multiple versions of network drive without being instructed to


    I run a NAS and have several shares which I allocate as network drives. Recently duplicate versions of one of the network drives keep appearing...and multiplying. If I don't disconnect them they take up all my drive letters. They are all the same, though there is a difference between them and the original sahe/network drive in that the contents contain a single folder only. this folder I have since deleted but these duplicate netwrok drives continue to appear with this folder in them.

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

  4. Windows 10 keps creating multiple versions of network drive without being instructed to

    for creating multiple drives

    Thank you

    To create multiple drives like D,E,F

    Do I need to follow these steps for multiple times

    And another question

    In the system showing OS drive that is of left with 824gb out of 937gb

    If I go for partition after shrink volume it is showing only 161gb max

    So don't I get more than that of each drive

    if I want more than that what is the procedure?
