[Solved] Shared folders not mounting

Hi,
Since last update from microsoft my shared folder aren't mounting in my guest OS.

Facts:
Virtual BOX Version 5.2.0 r118431 (Qt5.6.3)
HOST OS: macOS High Sierra 10.13 (17A405)
GUEST OS: Windows 10 Enterprise 64-bit, Version 1709, SO compilation 16299.19 with Guest additions 5.2.0r118431

Problem:
Updated my guest os system and since then my shared folders don't mount anymore.

Additional info:
It was working before the guest os update, so i'm suspecting this is a windows issue. I've already removed the shared folder, restart, added shared folder again and started the VM but the problem still there.
The \\vboxsrv\<share name> does not appear when browsing the windows network.

Any help solving this problem will be appreciated.

Thks.

Reinstall the Guest Additions. You have to do that in every major Win10 upgrade/re-installation of Win10.
