Windows 10: NAS connection intermittent

Hello Everybody!


I have a PC with Windows 10 installed on a network along with another 20 PCs.


This one particular PC is losing the connection to our NAS every once in a while for no apparent reason and then it restores itself in a day or two have to reconnect the drives though.


One of the strangest part is that when it is losing the connection there is just no way of getting it back until it changes it's mind.


When there is no connection I can still PING the IP address of the NAS, but it does not show on the network at all.


It is the same settings and same environment as far as I can tell as the other PCs.


Any ideas are welcomed.


Thank you.

:)

I have 2 NAS drives attached to my network

I do not have any third party software for my network on the windows 10 machines

I have 4 windows 10 computers

1 desktop is connected via Ethernet cable to my wifi router

2 laptops connect via wifi

1 desktop attached to my TV connects via wifi

all are connected to the same workgroup

I have 2 NAS drives attached by Ethernet cable to my router

I have recently upgraded all machines from windows 7 professional

Windows 7 machines ALWAYS found my NAS drives on the network whether connected via wifi or Ethernet, I never had any problems.

I am now having intermittent problems finding the NAS drives in 'Network' with the Wi Fi connected machines

sometimes they show the NAS Drives, sometimes they don't.

Windows 10 is not reliable I cannot work

does anyone have an answer to this please? otherwise I will have to revert back to windows 7
