Windows 10 Net Use doesn't show mapped drives

[Pinocchio21]

Hi guys,

I have 3 mapped drives which are accessible.

However, when I run net use command I'm getting this output.

C:\windows\system32>net use
New connections will be remembered.

There are no entries in the list.

Does anybody know why is it so?

I think I found why.
When I run cmd as Administrator then I get "New connections will be remembered. There are no entries in the list."
However, when I run cmd without elevated privileges then net use returns all mapped drives.

Yup that is normal functionality. If you have an account that belongs to the administrators group you can think of it as two accounts with the same name.

During normal operation your account runs as a member of the "Users" group. When you run an operation that requires elevated rights, after the UAC process the given process will run with a different security token that has administrative rights.
