Accessing Files from OSX on my Windows partition?

[Haeralis]

Good afternoon! In the past few months, I've had a number of newfound problems with my Windows 7 Boot Camp partition. As a result, I decided to delete it and install Windows 10 on a new partition. Many of these problems were thankfully resolved, but one of them still lingers.

A year ago or so, I used to be able to open my Windows 7 partition, go to Windows Explorer and access my files in OSX just fine. It looked something like this, only in Windows 7 (not my picture):

I could simply click Macintosh HD and go to my music, videos, or other files that I would enjoy using in both partitions.

One day, this useful feature randomly disappeared. All of a sudden, the only thing showing up under "This PC" was my BOOTCAMP drive and the Macintosh HD drive had completely disappeared.

I installed a brand new Windows 10 partition today and thought this would fix all of the issues I've been having with Bootcamp. Unfortunately, the one thing which it did not fix was this annoying problem. Does anyone know how to get my Macintosh drive to show up for use in the Windows 10 partition again?

Tell us about your Macintosh HD, is it formatted as APFS or HFS+? If your Mac has a SSD installed and you're running High Sierra, the SSD would be re-formatted to APFS. I don't know if Windows can "see" an APFS formatted drive.

Can't believe I left out such basic info as the actual model of my Mac. I have a late-2013 MacBook Pro with the Retina display. It is the 500GB model, 8 GB of memory, 2.6 Ghz Intel i5 CPU. The current version of OSX is High Sierra.

Your MacBook Pro 2013 Retina model has an SSD. Since you're running High Sierra, the SSD has been formatted to APFS. As stated previously, I don't believe Windows can "see" APFS. I might be wrong about that?

Thank you very much for the help! That's a bit disappointing. I guess I'll just have to transfer some of my files selectively so that I don't use too much space.

Could you have possibly been using software drivers prior to upgrading to High Sierra and Win10, like these that allow access from HFS+ to NTFS or vice versa?

The Paragon drivers would allow access to the two different files systems and then stopped working when you upgraded.
