Windows 10: Windows 10 can't connect to network shares after rebooting/turning on. Network share shows...

Searched and searched and cannot find a cause or solution to this.

in detail:


I have a NAS drive connected to my router.

I have a desktop connected via ethernet to the same router, and a laptop on WIFI

Both computers are running Windows 10 Home and both are up to date as of 22/08/18

I have mapped the network drive on both computers, and both computers can access the network drive.....until they restart.


When either computer reboots, windows gives a notification that it can't connect to all network drives.

Looking in file browser, all network shares show a red cross.

clicking on each network share turns the cross to a green tick and re-establishes the connection, and everything works fine.


This happens on both computers every time the computers are restarted.


I've tried re-installing the network adapter drivers on both computers and no effectet

I've tried re installing windows on both computers and still the same result

I've tried restarting the modem router then rebooting both computers and still the problem persists.

I've tried remapping the drives and making sure the "reconnect at sign in" box is ticked and still.....the same result.


Please, any suggestions?

Network sharing


Hi Yrralrellim, welcome to the Ten Forums.

Most obvious things to check:

• Is Network Discovery turned on on the Windows 10 machines?
• Is File and printer sharing turned on on the Windows 10 machines?
• Is Public folder sharing turned on on the Windows 10 machines?

Sharing network connection


Hello,

I'm wondering if anyone is having issues with sharing their internet connection with other devices after a recent update to Windows 10. After installing KB3176936 and KB3176934, I am unable to share my network. My current setup has my laptop connected to the home Wi-Fi and then sharing that Wi-Fi connection through the ethernet port on my laptop to my Raspberry Pi 2. Before the update, I was able to set my home network as public and network sharing would still work. Now I need to change it to Private first before the network can be shared. The issue I have with this though is that it creates a network from my laptop named "DIRECT-WR[computer name here]" which I don't want to show up in network lists. Anyway to set my network to private without creating that other network? Or to share it without setting my Wi-Fi connection as private? Thanks.

 

Can I share a network connection from a VM to the host OS?

hmm, i will assumer no responces = no, i cannot share it... lucky me, i finally got it to work in 7 with steps pretty close... Program Files > Pantech is where you will need to point windows to inorder to the card running in 7... though it would be nice to be able to share hardware and network connections from a VM to the host PC...
