CAN'T SEE MAPPED DRIVES IN FILE EXPLORER FOR A BACKUP PROGRAM

Why can't I see mapped drives when I am searching for a destination location for a backup program I am using?  I use a free file backup program called AOMEI Backupper and I want to backup the DOCUMENTS folder to a mapped drive folder on the network.  When I click on THIS PC I do not see the mapped drives as I do when I click right into THIS PC.  See screenshots.

Sorry forgot to say that in the screenshot the mapped drivers are network locations.  Once of them is called "Engineers_Bis"

Try map the network as a drive and try again.

I will try that.  Why does this not happen in Windows 7 PRO?  The problem only is in Windows 10 PRO.
Should make no difference. Maybe that key is set in Win7 without you knowing about it - verify that. Or UAC is off on Win7 - that would be my guess.
