Windows 10: When NAS Server is turned off some software takes ages to browse or load files

I have a little NAS server for files backups which is occasionally switched off. When it is off a few bits of software are extremely slow to browse for files. For example, it can take a minute to show the contents of a local folder and if I'm wanting to navigate through several folders it takes several minutes. If the NAS server is connected this slowness is completely gone. Most of my software isn't affected, I've no why idea particular apps are affected.I notice massive slowdown when using Maya and Cubase VSTplugins. I use Maya for work and it's getting most annoying. Examples of programs no

NAS server not visible


We have a NAS server on the network. One of our laptops recently got destroyed by water damage and had to be replaced. The new laptop is Win 10, and the NAS server is not visible on the network. On the old, now water-damaged laptop (Win 7), the NAS server had a desktop shortcut, so even if it wasn't visible on the network, the files could still be accessed.

How can I either force the computer to recognize the NAS server, or create a desktop icon that is linked to it without it being visible in the network listing?

Thanks.

 

QNAP Expands Capabilities of Its Turbo NAS Servers with Upgraded NAS Software

QNAP Systems, Inc., a leading manufacturer of world class NAS servers today announced an impressive update to the NAS management software that powers its business-class Intel-based Turbo NAS servers. The NAS management software version 3.2, embedded as firmware, provides a segment-leading iSCSI target solution supporting SPC-3 persistent reservation, MPIO and MC/S allowing forward-thinking SMB and corporate customers the ability to deploy the NAS as a storage server in the virtualized and clustered infrastructure. Additionally, the newly updated management software also steps up its backup capabilities by adding Apple Time Machine support and even redundant backups to Amazon's S3 cloud storage platform.

In addition, for ease of management, IT administrators can also benefit from the DFS support (Share Folder Aggregation), import of user-list, and customizable Daylight Saving Time. Further, the next-generation Internet Protocol, IPv6, has also been incorporated for future networking evolution. QNAP's Web File Manager 2 features an entirely redesigned user interface and functionality for improved file sharing and management. WebDAV is also available for users to collaboratively share, access, and edit files over HTTP and HTTPs.





"The V3.2 firmware brings the advanced and competitive iSCSI solution, backup, and management features, which effectively offer a competitive and secure solution to serve administrators" said James Wu, Product Manager of QNAP Systems, Inc. Besides, to increase its usability, the new 3.2 NAS management firmware also includes two new languages – Dutch and Czech, for its management interface. "We've also made numerous improvements to make our business-class models more efficient to manage for administrators and lay a foundation for future improvements." Mr. Wu added.

NAS server gone after W10 update april 13th 2016

On april 13th 2016 W10 was automatically updated on my PC

After completing update my NAS server (Medion MD 86407) didn't react any more: "This map is empty".

And the NAS server showed a red led. Pointing to a failure.

Until that update the NAS server worked fine , because I just had used my files on the NAS with my notebook (in our homegroup).

I did restart the Nas server.

Followed by a restart of the Provider modem.

Next I did reset the NAS server.

Each of all these steps without any result.

What can I do to solve this problem?
