Isssue description
I created a dev drive using the Dev Home app and every time I restart my PC the dev drive does not auto mount itself. I have to manually mount and then it is usable again.
The image I attached to the traces section shows that the problem may be a pathing issue? The path is correct until the end where it appends many random characters.
Steps to reproduce
- Create a dev drive using the dev home app
- Restart your PC
- Observe that the dev drive is not mounted automatically on startup
Expected Behavior
The dev drive should be auto mounted on startup
Actual Behavior
The dev drive is not automatically mounted on PC startup

Brandon Foss (@fossbrandon) You should probably post this in the Dev repository: https://github.com/microsoft/devhome :)

Had the same problem with the dev drive not mounting after reboot. I fixed the problem by attaching the dev drive.
Settings>Storage>Disks and Volumes.Attach VHD.Attach.Check if the dev drive is mounted and reboot to confirm if it has worked.
