    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Mapped Drives Issues

    To clarify .... the issue is the Windows 10 OS. It is with Windows File Explorer. The Mapped drives used to appear in File Explorer's left panel list of drives and folders. Two days ago File explorer stopped show the mapped drives. so not they don;t appear in the list of Drives and folders.

    - - - Updated - - -

    I did, it has no effect. I also check the NAS devices they support SMB 2.0. Also I have several other computers on my home network they work fine with the mapped drives and They do not have SMB 1 turned on. So it is something that happened to the computer in question.

    Windows 10 Pro Build 1709 forgets Drive Mappings internittently.

    Hello John,

    There are several factors to consider why you are having this kind of issue. This may disconnect due to unstable network connection or some settings within the router, the PC, the network drive that needs to be configured.
    For us to refer you to the correct channel or provide you the most applicable troubleshooting, we would like to know the following:

    • Which build and version of Windows are you using? To know, press
      Windows + R to open the Run window. Type winver and press Enter. A new window will open showing
      the version and build number of your Windows device.
    • Is your device and your network drive connected on a company domain?
    • Are you able to view your network drive on a different device or is it just one PC?
    • Is your computer able to detect other computers?
    • Are you connected through Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection?

    Meanwhile, I suggest that you re-create the map for your network drive as guidance you may follow the steps in this

    article
    and if you’d already performed the same steps mention on the link, you can run the
    Network troubleshooter for accessing files and folders
    as an initial troubleshooting.

    We’ll be waiting for your response.
