I installed Windows 10 build 10061 today. On booting, the first thing I did was connect to the network share (QNAP NAS). It connected fine and I installed MS Office 2013 off it.

 

But on reboot, it does not connect to it anymore. I can access the same NAS from another W 8.1 based laptop. I can also ping it from command prompt from within Windows 10.

 

Any ideas?

Found out what is causing it.

 

Did a fresh install again and connected to my network share.

 

Now I wanted to use 4 digit pin to log-in to Windows. So to create it, Windows asked me to verify my Microsoft account using 2-step verification and code was sent on my registered mobile number. Once it was done and 4 digit pin was set up, I restarted the PC. 

 

...and bang!! my network drive stopped connecting. What kind of weird bug is this? Completely a deal breaker. This has been going on since first public preview from Jan.

I found a way to map a Nas drive.  Go to File Explorer,  Right click on Network shortcut.  Map network drive and enter the IP of you NAS drive using exp  \\192.168.1.2 is mine and hit browse.  You should be able to browse some of your folders there and then map them.  Or, after you hit browse, add the 192.168.1.2 to either quick links or quick access. 

 

I hope that helps.  It's a bit different but it works.

IP addresses are different? Wow, and this whole time, when explorer wouldn't see my shares, and I typed the direct IP it was magic? Who knew.... /s

Wrong. It did not work even after typing direct IP. 

 

Worked once I disabled 4 digit pin while signing.

Open Control Panel (Not sure these are in the PC Settings app yet).

 

Click "Credential Manager"

Click "Windows Credentials"

Click "Add a Windows credential"

Type in the credentials you use with the QNAP device.

 

Assuming you have password protected shares.

Tried that but it just doesn't connect to the share if I verify my account using mobile number. If it is a local account, the mapped network share starts working again.

 

Same problem in build 10122.

 

I can ping the server fine. But as soon as I try to mount it by typing it's name or IP address in explorer, Windows cannot find it. This problem started right from 1st publicly available Windows 10 beta.

 

These days, over complicating things is the new IN-thing. Once the settings are over complicated, you hide them. Problem solved. (Y)

This problem continues to exist in leaked build 10147.

1. Map a network drive in This PC as Z:

2. Working flawlessly so far. I can browse all my files.

3. Go to settings and under Login, create 4 digit PIN to be used to login, instead of a regular password.

4. Reboot the PC.

5. BAM!! Network drive is now not accessible.

6. I can ping it through Command prompt but it just doesn't map no matter what.

7. I try to map it by typing IP address but still fail

8. Then again go to settings, and under Login, reset PIN. Then instead of entering new PIN, close the window to disable PIN completely and switch to login by Microsoft account password.

9. Reboot the PC.

10. Now the network drive can be mapped and works as before.

I just can't believe a bug like this is seeping through all the builds released so far.

I tried all the solutions but when PIN is enabled, the network drives just fail to mount no matter what.

Side note question:  In build 10130, I don't have an option to Reset PIN under my Settings > Accounts > Sign In Options.  There's a button for Forgot My PIN, and Change, but no Reset.  And typing in no PIN on the Change page doesn't work. So, is there a way to revert from using a PIN in 10130?

Thank god I found this thread.  The PIN problem was keeping me out of my network drives as well!  10130 and the new 10162 builds were the same.  

 

The only way I found to ditch the PIN is to go into Settings > Accounts, click sign in with a local account instead, create the local account, then do the same thing again - but choose sign in with Microsoft account.  When you're going through the setup for that, and it gets to the PIN option, choose no thanks.  You lose the convenience of the PIN, but signing in with your password on a Microsoft account allows you to connect to your network drives again!

I found another easier way to disable the PIN. Go into Settings > Accounts > Sign In Options. Clic on button for Forgot My PIN, Clic on Continue, you may be prompted to enter the password for your account, type it, and when ask for the new PIN, you clic on Cancel and then the PIN will be disable.

 

You must log off (no need restart) and signing again with your password on a Microsoft or local account allows you to connect to your network drives again!

This problem is solved.

 

enter username as servername\username

password as password

Thank god I found this forum. Spend all day re-installing / repairing the Windows 10 trying to figure out what was causing this issue.

After a repair I could acces my network shares on my NAS, but thanks to this forum I now know the PIN was causing this issue for me.
W10 was released a few days ago in my country. Very bad from Microsoft.
 
Gonna report this bug on the official MS website.

Has there been any solution to this issue? I have it on a new ASUS Zenbook (10 Home) and my custom built desktop (10 Pro), but not my Surface Pro 3 (10 Pro). It's not a huge deal, but I can't come up with any rational explnation as to why the pin vs password would limit what you can see on the network.

    • My kid tried, so I took her to Microcenter and showed her the differences in price as well as storage and specs. We bought a Windows machine. She loves it, and is off to college this fall with her gaming level windows laptop at the price of a Mac that came with a 512GB SSD, and half the RAM.

    • 99% of Control Panel will be moved to Settings. Then by 2050, 20% of settings will have been moved to the Configuration Menu. I have no issues with Settings as it exists now in Windows 11. Bring everything over and be done with it.
    • We collect the few carcasses we get (as long as drivers report them, as they should) and while we have our fair share, we don't have nearly enough crashes with deer "to paint the roads with deer carcasses" in Finland. Also, if you can't handle the risks, DO NOT DRIVE. I really don't want everything to be so simple and stupid, that I don't have to worry about my surroundings (I also hate Apple devices because they kind of decide everything for you and offer very little customization vs. Android). Most people probably encounter much higher risks and dangers in their daily jobs than they encounter on roads. Just a few weeks ago I twisted my anckle at work while walking and I haven't had even a near miss with an animal in traffic for many years despite driving something like 27000+ km/year (there were a couple of off years in there too) and seeing many deer, a few moose and many smaller creatures on the road. I find it extremely rare to have deer stumble directly in front of me - it happens, but in my opinion not nearly enough to warrant considering it super dangerous (I actually find it exhilarating when it does happen as it changes the daily commute and it actually requires me to stay focused). It is probably more common to have some idiot with their face glued to their phone wonder in front of you or a kid on an electric scooter disregard all traffic rules. Here in the Nordics we also have plenty of snow and that kind of f's up anything that relies on lines or other clear lane indicators. The one time I have (kind of) started raging while driving was when I had a loan car from service and it had lane guidance. That freaking thing basically felt like it wanted to hit every pothole and bump it could and I really, really freaking hated it (came close to ripping the whole steering wheel of, I tell you . Didn't feel safer at all, quite the contrary, and it distracted me from the road more than anything else I've driven before, constantly fighting that f'ing thing to go where I wanted it to go (no clear lines, a crack in the pavement, etc. and it became confused as hell and required more adjusting than any traditional car). Also noteworthy that globally the amount of people with driver's licenses is pretty low (like under 20 %), many countries have great public transport systems and many walk and cycle (even during the winter).
    • The snipping tool has come a long way. Every feature they add reduces the need for third-party utilities; in the past it seemed MS shied away from adding features to some in-box tools just so there would be a more robust third-party developer base. Now that we finally have boxes, circles and arrows, can they finally add text bubbles?
