    Share entire drive in 1803?


    I've read a lot of threads and articles on the weird new sharing principles in Win 10 v.1803. I've managed to be able to share individual folders successfully, but I'm still stuck when it comes to sharing the entire drive.

    When I try to do so via the only available option "Give access to", and select "Advanced sharing" I'm just presented with the Properties box with no Sharing tab present...

    I've already done:
    1. enabled extra services necessary for autostart
    2. turned on files sharing and discovery on different networks
    3. removed Sharing from blocked shell extensions via registry
    4. removed SMB1 server and left client only
    Used this article and this article as a guidance.

    What I'm getting as a result is a mess of the legacy options and lack of them, making me totally puzzled. Basically, I can't get the Sharing tab for any resource (file, folder, drive), but I'm able to get the context menu "Give access to" for folders (not for drives).

    But how to share the entire drive, when no Sharing tab is present and the "give access to" option returns nothing?

    Its shared by default as c$ which is a hidden admin share from a cmd prompt type

    net share
    this shows it up as a share

    You can map a drive from a cmd prompt

    net use s: \\tower\c$ /user:admin password

    change tower to pc name admin is a dmin account on the pc your connecting to
