Windows 10: Error message: could not connect all network drives

Sometimes after starting or restarting my Windows 10, I'll get the error message "could not connect all network drives." At those moments, I think my computer thinks that it is linked up to some network of computers. It's not. The only other thing I could think of was that it was referring to my not being connected to the Internet – which was also false. So how do I get it to stop sending that message?Thanks

Disable network drive error message on other networks

On my laptop (Windows 10 Pro), I connect to a network drive (Z) at work, which is only available on our local network.

When I take my laptop home, inevitable leaving several windows of File Explorer open to different parts of the Z: drive, I'm bombarded with a load of error messages saying An error occurred while reconnecting Z:\ to...

Is there a way to either:

• Suppress those messages while not on my work network (so I can still
  tell if there is any sort of server error while at work)
  
• Suppress those messages all the time
