Windows 10: Cannot connect to Server Folder over Network after waking from sleep

HI Guys

I have a Server Windows 10 Pro which has several shared folders on and I use many times a day.

I access it from my Dell Laptop Windows 10 Pro with no issue from a fresh boot. But if I put the laptop to sleep or it goes to sleep as I am away. When I come back I can no longer access the Server folders. I have to reboot my laptop to access them again.

But i can remote directly in no issues. But that is a pain i just want to know why my laptop is losing network connection with those folders?

:)

 

Whenever I put my laptop to sleep or hibernate and open it back on, the wireless network adapater needs to be reset in order for it to recieve Wi-Fi again

Is not turned off. Whenever the device wakes up from sleep, it can detect networks. When I try to connec to a network, it will state 'Connecting' after awhile, it will state 'Can't connect to this network'. In order for me to have the a bility to connect,
I need to go and reset the wireless network adapter.

Summary:

The wireless network adapter is not set to turn off after sleep. It is turned on but cannot connect to a network after wake.

 

Outlook 2016, the Mail App, and Windows Server 2003

I can see most of my network connections in my network window. However a number of connections keep disappearing (especially the servers) usually after waking up from sleep.

 

Hey thorrr,
Check your network adapters power management.
Right Click on Start > Device Manager > Network Adapters > Right Click on the Adapter > Properties > Power Management Tab and uncheck allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.

 

I will give it a try and get back with a solved if it has worked.
Cheers for the help
