Window 11 Map Network Drive is Missing - Before we can begin mapping the network drive, we'll first need to activate Network Discovery on the devices who want to connect to this networked device. Network Discovery is essentially a feature that lets your computer be recognized by other devices connected to the same network. Windows asks you if you would like to allow network discovery at times as you connect to networks, but frequently it's not noticed and some prefer to disable it for reasons that are legitimate. If you have network discovery turned off, computers on your network will be unable to recognize you and will not be able to connect to the drive we'll create further below. To access an area shared within the network, you'll be required to turn on discovery.
