Windows sees it as F drive everywhere but Most programs I run cannot find the mapped drive. Its as if the mapped drive is only seen in a windows 10 window and not in the programs. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
What programs are these? Have you tried right-clicking on file, and using "open with"?
Do you have internet security software running on the PC?

Did you check with the folks who support the application on whether it supports networked shares (and mapped drives)?
