Purpose of the issue

  • Bug report (encountered problems/errors)
  • Feature request (request for new functionality)
  • Question

Description of the issue

I have a mapped network drive, Y:. As you can see from the screenshot, it is accessible from Command Prompt, but not from Cmder.
Using latest Windows 10, tried installing Cmder both form chocolatey and from releases page.
I made no changes on settings, just ran Cmder after unzipping.
#649 seems to have had the same problem, but that wasn't very helpful.

It works for me. Two different drives on 2 different systems:

Well, yeah, I assumed the problem is on my machine because that would be a pretty severe bug. Still, what could possibly be causing it?
By the way, I also tried with Git Bash and it can access Y drive normally.

@fnzr Did you possibly map the drive as another windows user id or even as an admin user? I have seen this behavior before but it should also happen with cmd.exe outside Cmder.

hmm by disconnecting Y and then connecting again using net use command inside Cmder, I was able to access Y as admin in both cmd and cmder.
I then reconnected Y via Windows Explorer -> Map Network Drive and it seems to be all working now.
It might have something to do with admin user, because as you said, after net use I had to use cmd.exe as admin for it to work.
Well, I`m not sure what was the problem but seems to be fixed, let's see if it persists after a windows restart.
Thanks for your time.

Admin level user and regular user are two different security levels. drives mapped as admin are not accessible by non-admin users. This is a windows thing.
