nir Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Mapped drives issue finally acknowledged by the company Microsoft has confirmed another issue in Windows 10 October 2018 Update (version 1809), and shockingly, the company says a fix would only ship in 2019. Due to this bug, mapped drives may fail to reconnect after starting and logging into Windows, and Microsoft says the problem exists on Windows 10 version 1809, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server version 1809. The easiest way to determine whether the bug is impacting your system too is to check File Explorer, as a red X appears on the mapped network drives, the company says. Furthermore, if the issue exists on the device, your mapped network drives are listed as unavailable whenever you run the “net use” command from Command Prompt. And the last symptom can be observed in the notification area, as there’s a notification that tells you Windows “could not reconnect all network drives.” Don’t hold your breath for a fix While a fix is not available just yet, Microsoft says a workaround does exist and instructs users to check out this technical support document available here. “You can work around this issue by running scripts to automatically reconnect mapped network drive when you log on the device. To do this, create two script files, and then use one of the workarounds, as appropriate,” the company explains. All steps to create the necessary scripts that would help deal with the bug are included on the linked page. As far a full fix is concerned, Microsoft says it would “provide updates in the 2019 timeframe,” so it could take a while until a patch is shipped. The next Patch Tuesday takes place in December, so Microsoft probably needs more than just month to address the issue. However, there’s obviously no guarantee the fix would land in January either, so you better check out the workaround mentioned above to resolve the error on your own.
