You don't need to wait until Alcohol updates. Install 1809 and the problem is fixed.

 

If it's not available through Windows Update, go to the link below and force the update.

Hi,

 

I also could not see or add any virtual drives over the last few weeks or so but have just now installed Windows 10 1809 and can instantly add my virtual drive and see my image loaded as before the problems. Thanks Microsoft !

The only update that is causing the problem for me is KB4467702.  Uninstall that one and I can add virtual drives until it installs it again.

Just update to Windows 10 1809.

Just update to Windows 10 1809.

I confirm. I was able to add virtual drives after the update.

[Charalambos]

Please everybody with this problem uninstall KB4467702 (KB4456655 may also cause problems) or update to Windows 10 1809.

Hi everybody,

Same issue here... just finished installing Windows 10 Pro 64bit from zero, installed every update, installed Alcohol120%FE (tried 2 different versions) and I can't create a virtual drive.

I set it to 1 or 2, but keep seeing only phisical drives.

I've searched through this topic, looked for the KB mentioned to uninstall them, but they don't appear in the list of my installed updates.

Anyone can help me?
Thanks,

As far as I know Alcohol 120% FE has only the burning mechanism and doesn't have virtual drives.  Please try with Alcohol 52% FE instead.

Oh, yes. Thanks for the link. Which is the exact version of Windows 10 and have you tried with the latest version of Alcohol? Have you tried updating to Windows 10 1809 (if you have a previous version)?

Never mind!

Windows 10 Pro 64bit just installed and everything uptodate (1809 build 17763.195).

Tried Alcohol 120% FE v2.0.3.10521 and v2.0.3.11012.

Gonna make a try with 52% FE, but I'm sure I've always used 120%FE and drive emulation was ok.

 

Thanks again!

You must have a bad installation problem. Try uninstalling Alcohol, uninstalling SPTD with the standalone installer/uninstaller from www.duplexsecure.com and then installing Alcohol again after rebooting.

FInally I did it... new format, new Windows installation, tried 120% v.2.0.3.10521 and everything went well.

I think I'm gonna stay on this versione and don't upgrade to the latest v2.0.3.11012 untill the bug is corrected.

Thanks for your support!

You are welcome.  There is no known bug, you can update to the latest version if you want.

I'm on Win 10 1809, but couple of days ago my virtual drive disappeared, I tried to reinstall but got an error:
 

What could be the problem?

[jm2k7]

same here, problem with creating virtual drive on Windows 10 Build 1903

 

testing alcohol 52 free edition. does not work create virtual drive.   I do not know what the problem might be.

[Robbo]

This appears to be related to updates installed by Microsoft in preparation for the update to Windows 10 1903, we have recently had reports from users who have no virtual drives on Windows 10 1809 our developer and Duplex Secure who make the SPTD driver are working on this.

 

You could try using our portable version if you require a virtual drive which you can download here:  http://www.alcohol-s...ol_portable.php.
