Network drives doesn't work anymore from 10.52

[Quiet_Wildcard™]

Hi,

I find many topics about simulair problems like: viewtopic.php?t=79856

From version 10.52 and latest 11.01 i can't access network share drives
But with version 10.51 i can!

I tried the solution described here : viewtopic.php?p=427601#p427601

But it didn't work!

Why i can view my network drives with 10.51 and higher versions it doesn't work anymore???
I use windows 11 x64

Yes,

Thanks for quick replay.

But,

It doesn't matter if i start in administrator mode or without administrator mode.

I usally start in administrator mode. It's strange that i can't access network drives either in version higher than 10.51

I found also this script on https://serverfault.com/questions/780639/enablelinkedconnections-isnt-working-on-some-windows-10-machines

Code: Select all

Create a .cmd script, like fix-mounts.cmd
net use f: \\vboxsvr\myhome
"C:\Program Files\foo\the-thing-i-want-to-run-with-network-shares.exe"
Create a shortcut to fix-mounts.cmd
Right-click->Properties on the shortcut
Click advanced
Click "Run as administrator"
click OK, OK.
Now double-click the shortcut and it will run as administrator, mount your shares, and launch the program.

Additionally, if you turn off UAC then it won't prompt to run as admin. 

I changed to the right mapping:

net use z: \\myshare\files
"C:\Program Files\Totalcmd\TOTALCMD64.EXE"
Create a shortcut to fix-mounts.cmd

And this doesn't work either

Try running Total Commander as normal user, not as administrator. Then when you can't access a share, try accessing it with Explorer.
If that doesn't work either, then you know that it's not a problem with Total Commander.
If it does work in Explorer, then try again in Total Commander afterwards. The Explorer may have re-established the lost connection.

Thanks. I already tried this. Been there done that.

It's working perfect in Total Commander 10.51 but from 10.52 it doesn't work anymore.

I can only access the specific drive by VPN. Could it be there is something programmed from 10.52 in Total Commander that it doesn't listen to VPN or something?

[ghisler(Author)]

No, there are no known problems with VPN.
Can you give me more details what exactly doesn't work?
1. Do you try to access a mapped network drive (e.g. drive Z: mentioned above), or a list of shares, e.g. \\server, or a share, e.g. \\server\share, or a subdirectory of that?
2. If only case 1, can you access the same location via command line, cd \\machine\share instead?
3. How does the error manifest, e.g. you can't even switch to the drive, or you can switch there, but the list is empty?
4. Do you get any kind of error message?
Edit: One more question:
5. Can you try to access the drive in different ways, e.g.
a. Click on drive letter in Alt+F1
b. Typing Z: and Enter in the TC command line
c. Typing cd Z: and Enter in the TC command line
d. With a button in the button bar containing the command cd Z:\

Hi,

Well i just take the time to investigate.

I try to access in command with \\server\share and get the following pop up:


---------------------------
Total Commander
---------------------------
Access denied to file
\\server\share



"Windows data protection policies do not allow access to this network resource."
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

The strange think is i don't have this problem in versions earlier than 10.52

10.51 still works like sharm :/

I changed Totalcmd64.exe from personal to school/work and get the following error ....


---------------------------
Total Commander
---------------------------
WARNING The TOTALCMD executable file is corrupted, possible VIRUS!
Totalcmd will close. Please run a virus scanner as soon as possible!
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

Have you checked the digital signature?

[Quiet_Wildcard™]

If i changed all files in the map where totalcmd is installed and all files are encrypted than i dont get the virus warning anymore...

But still i get:


[Window Title]

[OK]

In english:

[OK]

This is with version 10.52 to 11.02

With 10.51 no problems at all????

I don't get it. Is it something on the Microsoft MDM White list that 10.51 is approved to use with my Microsoft School / Work account and TotalCMD 64 version 10.52 to 11.02 is not allowed? Stranges isn't it?

I don't know a thing about Windows Information Protection (WIP). Perhaps it is blocking Total Commander to access the data.
