Each time a restart my computer, a WD Discovery attached MyCloud via a new Network Drive letter?

[Drew]

Hi,

I have the WD Discovery software on my Windows 11 computer, so that I can access the files. Each time I reboot my computer, the software attaches MyCloud via a new network drive (see: screenshot below)

This is a problem because I have software on my laptop that I need to point to MyCloud, and, this link then becomes broken after restart. Any ideas?

Welcome @Drew to the community!

Checkout the below thread, it sounds like they had a similar if not same issue and @Tech_Wanderer had posted a solution. Hopefully this helps you.

Win 10 / WD Discovery drive letter changing at each reboot

Hello John9447, You can try mapping the My Cloud Home User Space by following the steps given below. 1.) Open Run. 2.) type \MYCLOUD-XXXXXX (Replace X with the last 6 characters with the My Cloud Home serial number). 3.) Click OK. 4.) Click Finish. If it won’t resolve the issue. It is recommended to try installing the WD Discovery on different computer and login to check if it replaces the drive letter everytime after each restart of the computer.
