Yes, you would get prompted for credentials which should then get remembered -

Yeah - think I hit that one too. Apparently they re-engineered the way the
associations work internally to make it more secure, and ballsed it up.

There's absolutely no reason to use mapped drives in this day and age.

So the September
(09) 2018 version of Windows 10, which didn't ship until October, and then
was taken back, and re-released in October, and taken down, and re-released
in November, is now patched in December, so the latest version of Windows
10 1809 is build 17763.168.
Hope that clears things
What's old is new again :)
Microsoft stopped the numbering (3.0, 3.11, 95, 98, Millennium, WinNT3,
3.51. 4, Vista) and declared all future versions were "10" because Apple
had taken the much cooler "X" years before. Now all the Windows are Windows
10, only different, and incompatible, like DLL

OT-free version of this list:
Testing is done differently today than it was 20 years ago.
It doesn't replace real people from final testing but it does reduce their
need on early bugs that is for sure.
I don't allow your code to be saved if your code breaks the build we have
in place. You get notified of it right after you
