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.

To fix the issue of being unable to map a network drive in Windows 10, follow these steps:
1. Press Win + R to open Run.
2. Type regedit and press Enter button.
3. Click the Yes button on the UAC prompt.
4. Navigate to the network drive key in HKCU.

Then navigate to this folder, where D represents the network drive:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERNetworkD
Right-click on D, select the Delete option, and click OK to confirm.
Select the Delete option, and click OK to confirm
Then navigate to this key:
Here you will see some entries for your previously selected drive. Since they are different for each user, you will have to find these entries and delete them accordingly. To do that, right-click on it, select the Delete option, and click the OK button.
Now, follow this detailed guide to map, add a Network Location or map an FTP drive in Windows 10. Then navigate to this path:
