    Network and Internal Drive momentarily disconnecting


    I am finding that Windows keeps dropping it's connection to the network drive momentarily at seemingly random intervals between about 1.5 to 6 minutes.

    A similar phenomenon is occurring with one of my internal drives (originally out of a WD portable external disk). The drive disconnects every so often (less frequently than the network drive) and then reconnects. I have never had this issue before and struggling to find a cause.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    :)

    Windows 10 installing Anniversary update fails (UEFI Boot layout) 0xC1900200 / 0xC1900201

    Would this (disconnect all 'extra' drives) include drives I access over the home network, and my PC's internal CD/DVD drive?

    This update issue is driving me crazy.

    Unable to disconnect from mapped network drive

    I receive the following error when I try to disconnect from a self mapped network drive: "network connection does not exist"

    The network drive icon appears with a bid red x and says it is disconnected, yet I can double click on it to enter the mapped folder. Doing this does not reconnect the folder, and remains disconnected. This causes problems because programs that pointed
    to this path are unable to read the files. I am unable to remap this drive because the associated drive letter (ENetwork and Internal Drive momentarily disconnecting :) and mapping no longer shows up in the list.

    I've tried all the typical suggestions including:

    --I tried to do it via the command prompt with the net use delete command, but it can't be found in there.

    --Tried to above with the actual network path instead of the drive letter, did not work

    --Tried to delete the registry entries from:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints2

    HKEY_USERS\. Default\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Mountpoint2\

    None of these solutions worked. Though deleting the registry entries momentarily hid the disconnected drive, the drive letter was still not available for mapping. I tried to force the drive letter (ENetwork and Internal Drive momentarily disconnecting :) to map to my optical drive, which worryingly, pointed
    back to the mapped network location on the NAS instead of to the optical drive.

    How do I get rid of this? Reformatting the computer is not an option.
