Map Network Drive in Windows 10


thank you for doing this tutorial.
An issue that plagued us in earlier Windows still remains in 10 and I do not yet understand some of the solutions given in the superuser forum thread pasted below.
The issue is simple:
- "drives" are mapped correctly, and work well WHEN they are manually accessed.
- Windows 10 automatically disconnects the resource when not used.
- Waking or restarting/booting the mapped drive remains disconnected: no request has been made, therefore the shared resource is offline [Red X]

the solution would be something to cause the mapping to be ready/available/connected at all times except for sleep [I guess... that would be permissible to most] or 'off'. In the thread below a couple of people propose 'solutions' [despite a couple of boneheaded ideas] but these either over-reach or are limited only to solving the 'connect at startup' need.

Not solving this defeats automated routine backups [pushed from the client station in question, in this example], which can be deadly. users should not be expected to have great memories or great technical skills

what is the RIGHT step to take to make the Mapped resource "always available", with exceptions noted above?
