This is very odd. On my wife’s laptop [win10 21H1], when it boots up we get “cannot connect all network drives” and, sure enough, if we try to access the NAS it says that “cannot connect to Y:”. It only has WiFi, but the LAN is properly enabled – I can access the internet with no problem and I can even access other drives on the LAN.
i have no idea what’s going on, but most important: I can’t figure out how to fix it. On my other laptop [also wifi] it just can’t connect to the LAN [and you folks told me about the little powershell script to reset the wifi interface], but that’s not the case here. Any hints about what the problem might be and how I can fix it other than shutting down and rebooting.
NOTE: if I’m watching carefully when the system boots, it does pop up a “couldn’t connenct all network drives” and if I click on that it does, in fact, connect the drive. BUT: if I’m distracted and miss it I can’t figure out how to do the equivalent thing “by hand”.
