Symptoms include: In File Explorer, a red "X" appears on the mapped network drives. Mapped network drives show as "Unavailable" when you run the net usecommand from a command prompt. In the notification area, a notification displays, "Could not reconnect all network drives." Workaround: See KB4471218 for workaround scripts to automatically reconnect a mapped network drive when you log on to the device. Next Steps: Microsoft is working on a resolution and estimates a solution will be available by early December 2018.

yea my mapped drives have had an x on them since I installed 1809. They work ok when you click on them.

Still searching to solve this nasty , stubborn problem .
Could it be One Drive ?
How to completely remove it , dont use it ..............

If you want to remove OneDrive, go to Start > Settings > Apps > Apps & Features. Then, scroll down until you see Microsoft OneDrive, click on it and select "Uninstall". That should do the trick.

Uninstalled it in 1803 already and upgraded to 1809 , trying to remove "leftovers" , like FileSyncEx .............
Could disable almost all of these unwanted contextmenu-items ( thanks to shexview), only the " Library" and the "Open Location " still coming back after remove/reboot..........(could use some help to fix this b.t.w.)

As mentioned before in a previous post by another user, you can always try Revo Uninstaller for the leftovers or go directly to the registry and remove them yourself. It is always advised to make a full backup of the registry or preferably a system image backup before venturing into some items deletion in the registry.

If you have the time and feel like it, maybe you should try a repair install (in-place upgrade) and after that go back to Brink's tutorial for another go at it:
