If you are unable to map a network drive, maybe after updating Windows 10, follow this troubleshooting guide. This is a common problem among people who have recently installed the new Windows 10 feature update.
Mapping a network drive is relatively simple. By mapping network drives, users can connect local drives to shared storage on other PCs in the same network.
Assume that you used a network drive earlier in Windows 10. If, after you install a new feature update, it stops working, the same steps may need to be performed again. But if it still doesn't work, then this registry fix might help you.
Before you begin, you should create a system restore point.
