Estimated reading: 1 minute

Right click on the folder you're trying to restore from shadow copy and chose Previous Versions. Chose a date and click on Open.
Right click on any file or folder within the previous folder and chose Properties. On the General tab copy what's shown in 'location', e.g.:
\localhostD$@GMT-2018.12.03-05.09.11Shares
Open cmd.exe and enter
subst X: \localhostD$@GMT-2018.12.03-05.09.11Shares
Open PowerShell and use robocopy to copy content of X
robocopy Z: D:Folder /E /COPYALL
Check that all files have been copied.
When finished delete the temporary mapping with
subst X: /D in cmd.exe
