    Problem to open Explorer when offline/not in VPN


    Hello everyone,

    I have a strange problem with several notebooks. The problem occurs since the update to Windows 10 2004.

    At the work place the notebooks work without problems, because all configured network drives are accessible and the availability of files in Quick Access is given.
    If I disconnect the notebooks from the WLAN or use them in my home office without an activated VPN connection, the whole device hangs. The Windows Explorer can be opened, but cannot display any files, the green status bar at the top runs the whole time.
    Previous solutions:
    - Automatically establish a VPN connection
    - Disconnect all network drives and empty the Quick Access

    Does anybody know this problem and would perhaps have a solution that would make working with the devices possible? Unfortunately the devices have to work offline for a while and to disconnect all network drives and delete the Quick Access is not practical.

    Thanks
    Christoph

    AirVPN

    In contrast to all the big names such as IPVanish, TorGuard, Hide My Ass!, PIA etc, AirVPN has been the most useful in terms of performance, cost, privacy and service.

    • No torrent (or other format) throttling
    • No region/server locking
    • Full server stats live, with reports and repair ETAs
    • Packages include complete tunneling and multiple protocols
    • Can be setup for virtually any platform(including a easy to use Windows package)[also user guides exist for bespoke arrangements, such as pfSense, which I run]
    • Their website/user portal is very thorough and flexible. You can build custom VPN configuration files
    • Cost is extremely good for what you get
    • Service is often quick and prompt
    • Forums are active
    • They tick all the privacy qualifications, no record keeping
