Applications run as administrator do not see the drive shared with OSX

On my machine, the `Z:` disk is shared between Windows and OSX through Parallels.
If I run PowerShell without administrator privileges and do this:

PS C:\Windows\system32> Z:

Then I will be redirected successfully to the `Z:` drive.

However, If I run PowerShell WITH administrator privileges and try this:

PS C:\Windows\system32> Z:

I get this error:

Set-Location : Cannot find drive. A drive with the name 'Z' does not exist.
At line:1 char:1
+ Set-Location $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Name
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (Z:String) [Set-Location], DriveNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : DriveNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.SetLocationCommand


Similarly, Visual Studio 2017 and Command Prompt, when ran with administrator privileges can not see the shared disk `Z:`.

Why is that? How can I access the `Z:` drive when I run the code as an administrator?
