Windows 10: Windows 11 mapped network drive keeps asking for credentials even after saving them.

This never happened in Windows 10 however in Windows 11 when I save the credentials they aren't re-used when trying to connect to the network drive. I keep getting prompted to re-enter my credentials.

Saving credentials in network mapped drive

Hi Richard,

Credential Manager allows you to save and manage web and Windows credentials for circumstances like network drive mapping. If you have trouble logging in credentials every time you save/open/copy/edit files, kindly try these following methods:

Methods 1: Managing Credentials

• On the search box, search and open Credential Manager.
• Click Windows Credentials and select Add a Windows Credential.
• Fill in the required information and click OK.

Method 2: Allowing reconnection at log on.

• Open the File Explorer and select This PC.
• Click Computer beside File tab on the upper-right corner and click Map network drive.
• Browse to the drive that you want to remember your credentials and check
  Reconnect at sign-in.
• Click Finish.
  
  Note: If reconnect at sign-in does not work, try re-mapping the drive.

Also, if your PCs are not up-to-date, we recommend updating them because these issues may happen because of some bugs on Windows, and an updated PC may address this kind of issues.

Let us know how things go.

Regards.

 

Mapped network drive, Windows keeps asking for password

It seems to me that you might be using the Connect using different credentials setting but I can see that you have repeatedly cleared & re-setup the mapping so that seems unlikely.
Map network drive - TenForumsTutorials
- See Option 1 Step 5 and possibly other paras in the tutorial.

Perhaps you could clear the mapping again,
check that the relevant Registry entry is removed &
map it to a different drive letter just to make sure that no previous mistake could be affecting your subsequent attempts to map it without the Connect using different credentials setting.

Best of luck,
Denis

 

Windows 11 to 10 map network drive credentials asking for email and pin not username and password???

New Windows 11 install moved from Dev.

Windows 11 to 10 map network drive credentials asking for email and pin, not username and password???

I have remote desktop working so I am not sure any settings are wrong.

But when adding a mapped drive the credentials only asked for a pin using the window's 11 email and pin. This is a new issue and not the same as past experiences or any article or directions found online.
