I think if you are the same user but different Logon ID, then you are
not seeing mounts from the other Logon ID.

The only mounts visible to all users must be mounted by user SYSTEM.
You need PsExec from
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/psexec to run
mintty.exe as user SYSTEM. Then mount the SMB filesystem, and all
users can use it.
