About this tag
The tag 'missing shares' on WindowsForum.com covers issues where network shares, particularly administrative shares with a $ suffix, disappear after a system restart or hibernation. A common scenario involves Windows 10 after the Anniversary Update, where shares vanish from Computer Management settings.

Discussions focus on troubleshooting share persistence, registry or service settings, and finding permanent fixes to prevent shares from going missing on reboot.
