[Solved] Share Folders are not connected anymore in Windows 10 guest

Post by curano »

Happy New Year to you all and your loved ones !!!

Since the last update in Windows 10 my 1 shared folders are no more available and don't see how to connect them again.
I turned them off in Settings and installed them again from scratch.
Linux Fedora 27 - Windows 10, version 1709
I tried to map them in Windows but the folders are not detected at all...

Any help would be appreciated

Re-install the Guest Additions. You're going to have to do it with every Win10 major update. You can thank Microsoft for that...
