Hi All,

Anyone know how to get WinFsp to work in Widows Server 2025 STD?

Figured it out.  I did not install
https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/
virto-win-guesttools.exe
A reboot is required.

And you have to go into <win><R> services.msc, find VirtIO-FS
Service and set it to Automatic, then restart it.

This is a much better guide:

And if you want to remap the drive:

REGEDIT4

; Change VirtIO-FS's mount point (letter):
; Change the M: below to you desiged letter.  Remember the :

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VirtIO-FS]
"MountPoint"="M:"

Restart the service to get it to take:
cmd as administrator:
sc stop VirtioFsSvc
sc start VirtioFsSvc

or <win><R> services.msc, find VirtIO-FS Service and restart it.
