  1. Windows 10 requiring random re-login to unc drive shares


    I have drives that I connect to on different computers in our workgroup. After connecting with a username and password and then clicking "Remember My Credentials", I can access the drive as needed. However, in what seems to be a random fashion, I have to re-enter those credentials every so often. Is there a way to prevent this from occurring?Thanks

    :)

  2. The drive or UNC share you selected does not exist or is not accessible. Please select another.

    Hi Oscar. I'm Greg, an Independent Advisor here to help until this is resolved.

    What works for others is to uninstall the launcher including removing any reference to it in the registry, then reinstall it from a fresh download. Steps here:

    The drive or UNC share you have selected does not exist or is not accessible. - Questions
    - Escape from Tarkov Forum


    The drive or UNC share you selected does not exist or is not - Microsoft Community

    Before editing the registry, set a System Restore point first so you can go back if necessary:

    If this does not work at first there are other suggestions given that worked for others in the same thread. I can also help you as needed to make the registry change given, and to search the registry for any remaining keys for the launcher following this guide
    to search the registry:

    Search Windows Registry Keys, Values and Settings



    Keep me posted on your progress as I will be here to help until the case is resolved.

    Automatically disconnecting a UNC Share when closing Windows session

    Thanks but as mentioned above, I'm not using drive letters. Users connect using a UNC name. UNC shares can be disconnected using the Net use /delete command but obviously, that doesn't work. The command is successful but the UNC share can still be accessed.

    Windows 10 requiring random re-login to unc drive shares

    Windows 10 Pro Cannot UNC to network shares

    I'm not entirely sure what the issue was or the resolution. Steps I took:

    • Updated Rackstation to latest image
    • Changed the supported SMB version on the RS several times
    • Ensured that SMB 1 / 2 / 3 were enabled in Win 10 via PS

    when I try and use UNC alone, Win 10 doesn't want to pass over my custom credentials but if I map the drive in CMD I can enter them.
    This is the first windows 10 I've used with a Microsoft login rather than a local user, it will be the last.
