Generic "drive is unavailable" error from windows explorer when revealing vault

[asdfuser]

I’m a new user, just downloaded cryptomator on 2 windows machines (one is win 10, other one is an old win 8 desktop). Normal full installation, and ran it as admin. Both get the same error using both Dokany and WebDAV (or at least that’s what’s selected in the options menu). Google finds some people with similar issues but no answers.

I’m at a complete loss how this thing can completely fail to work exactly the same way on a fresh installation on 2 completely independent machines. Is this a known issue with a solution or do I just search for an alternative program?

Using dokany, have you tried this?
