Windows 10: Windows Explorer is too slow when having mapped network drive

Hello,



I got an issue with my Windows Explorer.


I have NAS which is working on demand, not 24/7. It's mapped as network drive in my Win10 machines. Mapping way was the standard one - right-click on This PC -> Map Network Drive.


When NAS is up and running - no issues. When it's off - Explorer starts working extremely slow and laggy. Few examples:


1. When opening This PC, it takes around 2-3 mins to get the list of all drives physically installed in this particular machine with size and so on.

2. When creating a folder - Explorer get stuck for 10-20 sec

3. Sometimes Explorer is not refreshing itself - as example, I've created a folder on desktop, but it won't be shown until I right-click on desktop and select Refresh. Same goes for folder renaming, deleting, etc.


Seems that Explorer is trying to reach mapped drive every time I'm opening Explorer, awaiting for connection timeout - then then runs normally.


If there's a way to get it fixed somehow?


many thanks for your help in advance!

Mapped Drives Issues

To clarify .... the issue is the Windows 10 OS. It is with Windows File Explorer. The Mapped drives used to appear in File Explorer's left panel list of drives and folders. Two days ago File explorer stopped show the mapped drives. so not they don;t appear in the list of Drives and folders.

I did, it has no effect. I also check the NAS devices they support SMB 2.0. Also I have several other computers on my home network they work fine with the mapped drives and They do not have SMB 1 turned on. So it is something that happened to the computer in question.

 

Trouble Mapping Network Drive

I have a WD NAS drive connected to my router and have mapped it on three of my computers. I just setup another laptop with Windows 10 and have updated it to 1809 and when I tired Mapping a network drive nothing is displayed in the browse window except the
computer I am currently using. The drive is shown under network locations in File Explorer but not when you select map network drive and browse. I right clicked on the drive and selected properties and noted the IP address and went back into Map network drive
but instead of selecting browse I entered the IP address but it still does not map the drive. The strange part is if I go to any of the computers that already has the network drive mapped and select Map network drive and select browse none of those computers
show the drive either but you can select the mapped drive in the drive list in file explorer and it works just fine.

I have read several articles both here and elsewhere and tried the suggestions but nothing works. Network discovery is turned on as is file sharing and also checked if all three boxes under SMB file sharing support in Windows features were also checked and
they are. I have mapped several computers to several different drives over the years and anytime the drive was not listed it was always easy to go into Network Sharing Centre and find the problem but everything seems to be as it should so would appreciate
if someone can suggest something I may have overlooked.

Thank you

 

Cannot Map Network Drive in Explorer

Hello:

Lately, I am having trouble Mapping one of my Network Drives in Windows Explorer. A long time ago (early Windows 10 and before) I could simply click on "Network" and it would bring up my Drive (among others), I would click on it (right click as I recall) and it would bring up a system dialog box wherein I could select a drive letter and choose to always map on boot.

Now, the explorer doesn't list it at all! I can type 'net use Z: "\\Our1stNASServer\Our Shared Folders"' into an Admin cmd window and that partially maps the drive (only 2 out of about 10 folders); the drive still doesn't show up in Explorer, either on the right side or the left!

I am snookered! I hope someone can help me - I spend a good percentage of my time trying to correct this problem!

Thanks in advance.
