Dear folks



Two windows 10 desktops ( A and B )



Computer A has a folder called “RETAIL” for an accounting program.



That folder has to be shared to be accessed via local network from other computers



On A I accessed “Advanced Sharing” option and enabled sharing and assigned permission for everyone.



I mapped the folder to computer B and it was able to access the folder “RETAIL” no issue



But sometime when computer B restarts or gets disconnected it loses connection to the shared folder



What should I do to overcome this issue ?

"But sometime when computer B restarts or gets disconnected it loses connection to the shared folder "......

Either way (restart or disconnect) Computer B loses its' network connection.

How do you,/what do you do to restore Computer B's access to the shared folder on Computer A?

In the Map Network Drive configuration settings is "Reconnect at sign-in" checked?

Here is a link that you can use to double check the way that the shared folder is configured:
