Finally I found this article:įollowing Windows 10 upgrade, mapped drives disconnect briefly One 2010 article talked about disabling SMB2 to solve app crashes, but you’d think SMB2 would be working by now. So something is wrong with the 2012 R2 Essentials server?
Then I realized that other Windows 10 machines on the network were having the same problem. I was wondering if I needed to go back to Windows 7. The outages were very brief: I could immediately connect to the location again. If I had File Explorer open, it loses its location: One of my database programs relies on a mapped drive and keeps crashing. The most frustrating problem has been that mapped drives on my server frequently disconnect.
A few weeks ago, I upgraded from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 10 Pro.
