#### Workaround
Move the sketch to a different location that is not under a UNC path.
Alternatively, if you would like to continue to open sketches from the network share, you can map it to a drive on your computer. Then make sure to open the sketches from that drive instead of from the network location:

### Bug Description:
Attempting to open a folder from a [network share](https… ://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/file-sharing-over-a-network-in-windows-b58704b2-f53a-4b82-7bc1-80f9994725bf) fails silently.
### Steps to Reproduce:
#### Set up
Create a network share:
1. Create two nested folders in any convenient location:
```text
foo/
└── bar/
```
1. Right click on the `foo` folder.
1. Select "**Properties**" from the context menu.
1. Select the "**Sharing**" tab.
1. Click the "**Share...**" button.
1. Click the "**Share**" button.
1. Confirm the share in the Windows UAC prompt dialog.
1. Click the "**Done**" button on the "**Your folder is shared**" dialog.
1. Click the "**Close**" button on the "**Properties**" dialog.
#### Steps
1. Start the Theia "Electron example": https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia/blob/master/doc/Developing.md#quick-start
1. Select **File > Open Folder...** from the example application's menus.
1. Select "**Network**" from the file tree in the navigation panel.
1. Open the machine that has the shared folder in the navigation panel.
1. Open the "**foo**" network share in the navigation panel.
1. Select the `bar` folder.
1. Click the "**Select Folder**" button.
🐛 A new window opens which does not have the `bar` folder loaded in the Explorer view.
### Additional Information
- Operating System: Windows 10
- Theia Version: https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia/commit/4542e033f4cbd4138f3258cde3eb406809b7a615
---
The fault does not occur if I open the folder from the drive instead of from the network share.
---
I can not reproduce the fault using VS Code.
If you have a GitHub notifications of any new developments related to this subject:
Until then, use the workaround you already discovered of mapping the network share to a drive letter and opening the sketches from the path under that drive instead of the UNC path.
