      Hi,
      Using Notepad++ 6.9.2 without an issue on Win 10
      I have network drives mounted (u:) and can open files and save with no issue.
      Upgraded to 7.1 (32bit) and can no longer open files on u:
      The File - Open does not show the network drives.

      Ive tried a few things.

      1. Run as adminstrator when installing npp.7.1.Installer.exe
      2. Run as adminstrtor when opening notepad++.exe
      3. try changing the compatibility to Win 7

      With some of these changes i the u: became visible and i could open a file.
      but it would not let me save the file.

      Ive since reinstalled 6.9.2 and all is good again.

      Any ideas?
      Thx
      Derek

        Note to those with the same issue:

        Windows 10
        Npp 7.1
        Network mapped drives not visible, can’t open files on mapped drive. Opening files on network share works ok.

        After a reboot, everything works ok and mapped drives now show up. Not sure if its Npp or Win10.

          @Derek-Wallace Had the same problem & found a fix here

          Basically add a new DWORD to your registry called HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Policies/System/EnableLinkedConnection & give it a value of 1. Reboot & all should be good.
