Windows 10: Reconnect NAS/network share in Explorer after location change

Hello,I have a question about a network share folders on the NAS. A client of ours works in two locations for his company.The NAS is located at location A. He can link to the IP address of the NAS directly here in his Windows Explorer, adding the corresponding folder to his explorer.When he goes to work at location B, he can connect to the folder via a VPN connection.However, when he returns to location A, Windows requires that the connection to the network share be removed i.e., the folder removed from the explorer and then reconnected. The IP address remains, logically, unchanged as does

NAS shares not always reconnecting at log on

Quite frequently I find that my Synology NAS shares don't always reconnect at log on, but as soon as I click on the mapped shares, they become available. I've read an article on the Microsoft web site (https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/...0-version-1809) but it's too technical for me to understand. Can anyone explain in simple step-by-step terms if there is a way to resolve this issue? My laptop is running on Windows 10 64-bit.

Cannot reconnect to network shared drive with Windows 10

After months of trouble in getting the NAS drives mapped, all was well until a reboot or a logoff. After a reboot, a popup message briefly appeared just above the lower right corner of the taskbar indicating network drives could not be reconnected.

I have searched and searched for a possible fix or a method to resolve the mystery of reconnecting the NAS shared drive.

Anyone else have this issue with Windows 10?

Topology:

-> NAS 3 Shared folder

-> NAS 2 Shared folder

-> NAS 1 Shared folder

Cable modem -> Router -> 1Gb Network Hub /

\

-> Windows 10 Pro x64 (Windows Firewall NAS ports opened - AVG Antivirus shared access allowed)

If anyone has a viable solution, please consider sharing.

BTW, this is the message that I get when attempting to open the shared NAS link
