Shared drives not working Win10 Pro Insider Build 10576

Post by AugustFalcon »

My shared drives have disappeared after updating to the latest Win10 Pro Build (th2_release 10576) and updating to OS X 10.11.1 This is running on a mid-2007 iMac with 4GB. The VM is assigned 2GB and the screen gets 128MB.

I am running VB 5.0.8 r103449 with the associated Guest Additions installed. The host system server no longer shows up in the Win10 files manager network session and consequently none of the shares can be automounted. Looking at the VB log it appears that the shares are written there when starting up.

Has anyone else noticed this behavior?

Just updated to Win 10 Pro Insider Build 10586.

Still no shared drives available. In addition in the previous build Win 10 showed as a server in the Win 10 Network pane, now that has disappeared too. Back when shared drives were working both the Win 10 VM and the iMac host showed up as servers.

FWIW, every time I've updated a Windows 10 insider Preview guest I've had to delete any shares, reinstall the guest additions, then re-add the shares.

"FIXED"

Installed VB 5.0.10r104061 and its associated extension pack and now my host drives have reappeared.

(p.s. Thanks for the response loukingjr) :D
