Mapped drives automatically disconnected

Hi,
Having a bit of an odd issue with a Windows 2012 R2 server mapping drives to a Windows 2008 R2 in a RDS environment.
I have setup the mapped drives in GPO with the replace option and reconnected ticked.
When I login with a user account, the drives all have the Red X, which causes us issues with applications trying to run from them, or utilize the drives, if you go and click on them in windows explorer they map fine.
If I manually map a drive, log off and back on same red X. Now if I do this as a domain admin, they drive seems to stay connected.
So I thought id add the users to local admin to test, no difference. I have tried to disable all my GPO so nothing is getting applied to this server and same issue.
have tried this command on the file server
net config server /autodisconnect:-1
Updated the registry with the as per:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297684#appliesto
have also tried the linkconnections regkey
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/937624/en-us?wa=wsignin1.0
now pretty much out of idea's may have to log it with MS, but thought id see if anyone has had a similar issue.
Thanks,

Hi,
Would you please tell us that does this issue also happen on other servers?
In addition, are there any related warning or error messages logged in the Event Logs?
Best Regards,
Amy

Reader says mapped drives are disconnected...

Hello all,
I hope someone can assist on an issue that's about to cause me to lose my mind. A user has an issue with Adobe Reader where everytime he tries to open a PDF on a network share through Windows Explorer, it says it cannot find the file specified. I've seen similar issues in the past that have been related to Adobe's Protected Mode, but I do not believe this to be related to the problem. Here's a list of things I've done to troubleshoot this (in order):
1. Updated to the latest version (11.0.2)
2. Compared Preferences to a working machine.
3. Disabled Enhanced Security
4. Disabled Protected Mode
5. Uninstall/reinstall
6. Uninstall again, this time using Adobe's tool to remove all traces of Reader. Reinstalled.
7. Uninstall, rolled back to 10.0
8. Ensured Protected Mode is not on.
None of these things helped. One of the really odd things, however, is that when I try to open a PDF through Adobe (via File > Open...) instead of Windows Explorer, the drives each have a red X, saying they are disconnected. However, in Windows Explorer, the drives are clearly mapped and are functioning properly.
What on earth is going on?

Update:
I had this same question posted in the forums over at Spiceworks (a great place if you ever need IT related help). There was someone there who had some documentation that actually worked for me to correct this issue. If anyone has this issue in the future, go here:

GPP - Missing Mapped Drives

Domain Functional Level: Windows Server 2003
Domain Controllers: Windows Server 2012 R2
Workstations: Windows 7 PRO, x86
I'm mapping network shares for my users using GPP, running under User Logon, and Item Level Targeting. The missing network drives are Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 file servers. The network drives that DO map are Windows Server 2012 R2 file servers.
When I log in as a test user (copied from an offending user), I can browse to the 2003 shares via UNC, and I am capable of manually mapping the drives are well. However, when I log off and log back in, the drives are missing again
for the 2003 shares. Furthermore, I'm mapping user's home folders via Profile tab in their user accounts, and that's going to the same 2003 share as well. That isn't mapping either.
I believe that it was working fine last week, but then SOMETHING must have changed. I'm unsure of what though. Perhaps someone can shed some light into this?

Not to my knowledge - they SHOULD be present again without gpupdate. The
log I mentioned above might be helpful.
> Preferences don't "update" like Policies do?
In most cases, they do :)

Mapped drive to other domain on another subnet disconnects

Hi,
I have a strange situation here. Tasked to change/upgrade nearly everything about this companies IT setup. Old servers, old domain name, old switches and some old workstations with XP. I bought all new servers, switches and some new workstations. set up
all the new equipment and placed a linux box as a router between the two networks. Just for reference old is 192.168.1.0/24 and new is 10.1.1.1/24. I have the 10.1.1.0 network using DHCP and defining a static route to the 192.168.1.0 network as the router
10.1.1.254. All seems to work fine and once I move a users network cable to the new switch and join them to the new domain. I can map a drive to the old file server's 1 big share and use other credentials as 'old domain\user' and password and all is well.
The issue I am running into more and more is the mapped drive from the old network disconnects. A user will open a file and work on it and when they go to save it will say it is not available. They need to open the drive then save. On rare occasions they need
to disconnect the drive and remap it.
All of this was to try to buy some time while moving the users over one department at a time, but I am spending less time working and more time remapping drives.
Any help would be welcome.

Hi rcc9979,
Seems like your map drive lose connection frequently, for good measure, please try to access or browse the mapped drive and wait for few minutes then see if it reconnects.
And please let us know if this issue happens to all users, one Specific user or only some users in one network.
Then you could use net use command with “/persistent:yes” parameter to map network drive then see if the issue still persists.
If this happens to all users, this behavior might be caused by the systems can drop idle connections after a specified time-out period (by default, 15 minutes) to prevent wasting server resources on unused sessions.
To fix this issue we could download fix tool or by Registry Editor

Windows Server 2008 Standard: Multiple Concerns: Inconsistent group policy update on client PC's, frequent disconnections of map drives and remote connection

Hi this is my first time to ask a question here in this community.
I am a system administrator here at my work and we are having some issues on some servers that we handle. Network in our office is stable and we have determined it is not a problem on the connection.
First issue - One of our domain controller consistently drops out on our Directory Server and saying it's unavailable.
Second issue - Unable to ping hostname but IP address works fine. (Sometimes hostname is ok but very intermittent)
Third issue - Since connection is unstable map drives causes to disconnect
If someone can provide any assistance on this matter it would be a great help. If screenshots needed for proper assistance would be appreciative.
Just to add that this only happen after a power failure last April of this month and a few weeks bluescreen started to show. It is a hazy version wasn't able to get any code that may lead to a hardware failure.
Now our main RDC.local is also affected so we are trying to isolate this issue and exhauted my brain since we cannot determine what causes it. Need external assistance just to give us a lead on where we can get this resolved.

Hi Ryan,
Before going further, would you please let me confirm something more? Thanks for your understanding.
1. For first issue, would you please let me know OS edition information of the problematic DC? Was it Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2012 or any other?
à
One of our domain controller consistently drops out on our Directory Server and saying it's unavailable.
Would you please let me know the complete error message or provide a screenshot of it?
(Please hide all protected or private information.) Meanwhile, please log on the problematic DC and check if find relevant events or errors in Event Viewer.
2. For the second issue, it seems to be a DNS issue. Did you run
ipconfig /flushdns and ipconfig /registerdns command? Any find? Meanwhile, please use
ipconfig /all to display full TCP/IP configuration and check. Or you can post the
ipconfig result here. It may help us to go further analyze. By the way, would you please let me know error message that you can get when be unable to ping via hostname?
3.
àSince connection is unstable map drives causes to disconnect
May be a cause.
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.

Loss of mapped drive, networked drive disconnects

I'm running Win7 ult x64. I am running on a network with 4 pcs, 2 vista, 2 xp. We have one server running 2000. I have mapped a couple of folders on the server and can connect just fine when I first start my pc. But after awhile the connection is lost. It still shows the drives, but not the connection. This internet works fine and access is controlled through the server. I can restart my machine and the drives will be connected and working as they should. But after some time they will disconnect again. Win 7 is acting like it is losing the connection to the network, because I can't map another drive from one of the other PC's unless I reboot. But the internet access is still working fine. Any ideas?

To All,
Here is what I have found. This is a problem with Windows 7 and nothing else. After several test and looking at forum after forum. here is what I came up with.
I have 3 machines. 1 (XP) and 2(Windows 7 recently loaded). the 2 machines that I loaded Windows 7 (fresh) were both XP. The 1 XP machine that is still XP for this post I will call File_Machine (because this is where I hold my files and
map to from the other machines.
1. When my other 2 machines were loaded with XP I have no problem with mapped drives. No dropping or reconnection problems.
2. I load Windows 7 on 1 of my machines and start noticing when I would shutdown or logoff it woudl hang at the log off screen and the only way to shutdown is a hard shutdown. I knew it was related to a network connections not closing or something
but could not isolate it.
3. Installed Windows 7 one the other machine (oohh by the way 1 is Windows 7 Ultimate and the other is Professional). I started experiencing the same problems with this machine mapping back the my File_Machine.
4. Saw a post referencing the idle network connection disconnect feature in the Windows Operating system.. so I looked at my XP machine (File_machine) active sessions.
5. I brought both windows 7 machine online and let them restore the network connections to the XP box. after being idle for a while the sessions dropped because they were idle (this is normal and by default). ok fine.. no problems there.
6. here is the kicker.. when I went back to either Windows 7 machine and clicked on the mapped drive, it hung and would not reconnect to the share. the share is fine and active. The problem is the Windows 7 is not sending the correct signal to
the system housing the share to reconnect.
7. To confirm this I ran the following command on the XP (File_machine).. NET CONFIG SERVER /AUTODISCONNECT:-1 (this command disabled the autodisconnect feature in a network connection is idle).. the (-1) represents the duration to wait before disconnecting.
-1 is to disable.. I believe the number range is from 0 to 655555 or something.. representing seconds.
8. after the was disabled there were no more dropped connections.
9. set the number to 1 and tested again.. and the problem came back..
What does this say.. Microsoft needs to look at Windows 7 reconnection attempt commands for idle connection and see what signal is being sent to the resource to say wake up and reconnect me because it's not working..
Hopes this helps everyone and Hope MS reads this and looks into it.. You know have the info on how to recreate the problem.
Hi What_I_Found,
What is the default value for NET CONFIG SERVER /AUTODISCONNECT:-1 command ?
As I would like to test and see if this command works for me and if it doesn't then I would like to go back to using the default value.
Thanks in advance,
Bashy
I found the answer, and all of the above info here...

USB Hard Drives Keep Disconnecting or Not Responding

Hi,
This is a long post - but one that I hope someone can offer advice on.
The Hardware
Mac Pro running OSX 10.8 (but this has happened on all versions of the OS i.e. 10.6/.7 etc)
3 x Internal SATA Hard Drives - All working perfectly.
External Drives:
2 x Western Digital My Book 1TB USB Hard Drives
1 x Seagate 750GB Hard Drive with USB2 connectivity
2 x IcyBox Dual Bay USB2 hard Drive enclosures using JMicron Chipsets - these enclosures have 2 x 1TB Western Digital Green in each (totaling 4 TB across the 2 enclosures).
D-Link 7 Port USB2 Hub
The Problem
- USB Hard Drives connected to the Mac are ejected from the system without notice and at random times AND/OR
- The external hard drive remains mounted, but when trying to write to the drive/partitions, Finder throws an error message up saying the operation cannot be completed - error code -50.
- Time Machine: TM will back up successfully several times, before eventually throwing an error up that it cannot create the folders required on the drive.
- The only way to be able to use the drives again is either remount the drive, or in some case, it is required to completely power the drive down and then reconnect.
Re-creating the problem
I have honestly not found a sure-fire way of replicating the problem. It seems completely random. It happens when I am actually sat at the computer, but it also happens when I am away from the computer.
In the past - my Time Machine hard drive has been one of the Western Digital MyBook drives. I also used the second MyBook for SuperDuper backups (extra redundancy). The 4TB drives in the IcyBox enclosures have been used to backup my ripped movie collection.
Recently however - I decided to have 2 of the 1TB drives in the IcyBox enclosures to be TM and SuperDuper backups. I have however reverted TM back to one of the Western Digital drives, purely for testing purposes. SuperDuper is backing up to one of the 1TB drives in the IcyBox.
I am trying various things to see if I can find the issue, but it is such a random event that it is taking ages to even come close to find a problem. Sometimes the drives will stay active for a few days, sometimes only a few hours, even minutes.
Theories
I have several theories as to why my USB drives continually disconnect.
1. The D-Link USB Hub.
Could connecting the drives through the hub be causing the problem? I don't really see how, unless it is a documented case that D-Link USB hubs do not play nice with OSX? To try and rule this out I have connected the current Time Machine back up drive (Western Digital MyBook) directly to the USB port on the back of the computer. The SuperDuper (IcyBox enclosure) drive is currently connected through the D-Link hub. I have removed all the other drives from the enclosures - so at present I have only 2 external drives connected (1 x 1TB Western Digital MyBook, 1 x 1TB Western Digital Green inside one of the IcyBox dual-bay enclosures - connected through D-Link Hub).
2. JMicron Chipset
I have done a bit of research on the internet and there are a few indications that perhaps JMicron SATA-to-USB controller chipsets found in a lot of external hard drive enclosures (including the dual bay IcyBox external enclosures that I have) do not play nice with OSX. If the JMicron chipsets in the 2 IcyBox enclosures is a problem - would that cause issues with other USB devices on the USB bus off the Mac? (i.e. can the JMicron chipset in the enclosures cause devices such as the WD MyBook drives which I assume use a non-JMicron chipset, to experience similar failures?)
3. Green Hard Drives
As I have said, I have 4 Western Digital Green 1TB hard drives inside the IcyBox Dual Bay Enclosures. Could the fact that these drives are 'Green' be causing a problem? They do go to sleep after x number of minutes, but they do wake up when required. But could on the occasion when I have problems, could this be caused by the 'Green' feature interrupting OSX in waking the drives? Coupled with JMicron chipset, could this be compounding the issue?
Possible Solutions
I am prepared to spend money on replacement drives and/or enclosures etc - but I would hate to spend x amount of money and have the same problem. So I am hoping to get some advice on what drives/enclosures are more than likely to work flawlessly with OSX.
Thanks for reading!

FYI - re: the SuperDuper drive that is in one of the IcyBox enclosures.
I just opened this drive up in Finder. I heard the drive wake up, but when I came to copy a file over (tried various file sizes) - I got the error -50 message.

Mapped Drive - Location Not Available

I have a small recurring problem that is starting to get a little bit bigger.
My environment is:
Server 2012 Standard, AD, File Server, Print Server. Running on Hyper-V (2008)
Clients are Windows XP, Vista, 7, and 8.1 all professional.
I have a number of mapped drives that all go to this same file server. If I open a Windows Explorer window on any client and leave it open, after a while (always seams random), I will eventually get an error message saying "Location Not Available"
The contents of the directory I was looking at goes blank when this message comes up. I can click OK and immediately hit refresh on the Explorer window and the contents will come back.
Most of the time this is annoying but I am finding a couple of applications that do not like this behavior. They crash or close connections when this happens.
I have had a Remote Desktop connection open to this server while getting this and it does not get disconnected. I do not see anything that looks related at all in the log files of the client, the server or the Hyper-V host. I have made sure that the drivers
on Hyper-V are up to date as well as all firmware (especially the network cards).
I am not sure if the problem started when I upgraded my personal workstation to Windows 8 (from 7) but that is when I first started to notice this.

Hi,
Do you mean the issue only occurs on Windows 8 systems?
Also whether these mapped folders are DFS shares or just normal shared folder?
If DFS is involved, test to disable Client Side Caching to see if it is related. Please add this key in all DFS target servers.
HKLM\System\CCS\Services\LanmanServer value=<sharename> cscflags=48
As it is a random issue, it will be difficult to find out the root case. You can try to capture a network trace with Network Monitor when the issue occurs. Let's see if any specific information could be found.
Detailed steps could be found:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/812953
Note: As the issue occurs randomly, the package may be large as you need to wait until the issue occurs.
Note2: you can upload package to OneDrive however as is open to public so everyone could see that package.

Media shares auto mapping drive in Windows 8.1 Pro

What setting in Windows 8.1 is causing the automatic mapping of several shared folders named media?
I work in a university environment with staff, faculty, and students using wired and wireless networks. I have a user with a Surface Pro 3 that has started to automatically map, what seems like random addresses on the wireless network, to file shares
named media. When I setup these computers for the users I always have the media sharing turned off and I've never had cause to use it myself so I'm only a little familiar with what the settings do. I've tried to change my own settings to reproduce
the problem but I can't seem to find the correct setting so that I can reverse it. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,

Hi Pete de Pistola,
If your machine keeps reconnecting to a map drive, from driver path you should be able to track down which machine is shearing folder. Also since it is a Wifi network we wonder if users could use their own device which is not configured by administrator.
As I know to prevent file sharing, group policy might be the only option.
Enable or disable File Sharing with Group Policy

Got a Maps query? Check our Maps FAQ's

Sorry, I'd like to unresolve this. The workaround mentioned is not a solution.
I travel to loads of places by motorcycle, and going off the beaten track is wonderful. Since I upgraded My E6-00 and C7-00 to a Lumia 920, I'm back to allowing the SatNav (phone) to decide where I go. Boring dual carriageways and bypasses are now my natural habitat - bah humbug. Afterall, the phone is in my pocket (safe from weather), headphones in my helmet - I can't constantly look at a map. Having multiple 'favourites' and planning from one to the next isn't workable. Fair enough the Lumia 920 is usable with gloves on (major plus for a biker, come on you marketing people!) but I don't fancy re-routing all the time by the side of a road.
I'm also planning a charity cycle ride over 100s of miles this Summer, and while that can be done in BikeRouteToaster, Google Maps etc, there is no import function into 'HERE' that I can see. It's impossible to plan a route on the device itself. Yes it can route walker (I can't seem to get turn by turn working for that, but nevermind), public transport and car, I have an option to avoid motorways etc, but cycle route planning needs consideration for height metres, unpaved/paved roads (Google StreetView etc used a lot to find a Sustrans route is actually unfit for road bikes) etc. So.. Importing a route planned elsewhere (gpx, kml or something) would be a real alternative, or a workaround. Asking the device to do its own planning from one point to another really isn't workable.
Please make the Nokia's USP an actual USP again?

Report on remote users mapped drives

After a very thorough search, I can't find anyone else who has had this question answered.
I have a need to on-the-fly report on the mapped drives and their letters of users on remote computers. Running "Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_MappedLogicalDisk | select Name, ProviderName" only returns my drives under my credentials, not the remote user. Looking
at HKU:\sid\network apparently only reports persisent mapped drives or drives mapped by the customer and not drives mapped by logon script that are not persistent.
There doesn't seem to be a way to do this on-the-fly which is dissapointing, so I'm hoping you'll have a trick up your sleeve!
The only way I can figure to get the information, but not on the fly, is to have a logon script run as the user and grab the info and save it somewhere. I'm really hoping not to resort to that. All of that becomes historical info and won't reflect changes
that happen after logon, so it's not going to always be a true reflection of reality.
The key seems to be running a wmi query as someone else that you don't have credentials for. Is that possible? Or do you have another suggestion?
Ian

I believe this post may already be closed. I, however, would like to add my findings: When I run this against different pc's with different users logged on: Get-WmiObject
-Class Win32_MappedLogicalDisk -ComputerName <remote computer> | select Name, ProviderName
(Keep in mind that I'm a local admin on my pc as well as the destination pc's
as well.)
1. The logged on user is non-admin on their pc.
Mapped drives are not retrieved
2. The logged on user is admin on their pc.
Mapped drives are retrieved
3. I'm logged on to the remote pc (local admin)
Mapped drives are retrieved
Conclusion: As long as the target pc logged on user is local admin on that pc then the
mapped network drives will be pulled by the previously mentioned command. Otherwise, it will come back empty.
A question posted previously was: "I'm
curious why you need to know mapped drives??" In my case, I am trying to back up mapped network drives for all domain users. However, logon or logoff scripts are not
an option.
The real question should be: Why is the previously mentioned command not pulling the mapped network drives when the logged on user is not a local admin on the target pc?
I believe the answer is that the drives are not mapped to the remote computer per se, but to the user's process on the remote computer. And while an admin on that computer has significant power over the hardware and operating system, it cannot take control
of the process, which is locked by the user's credentials.
Consider remote control. My regular account is logged onto another computer. I run mstsc to establish a remote control session on that remote system under the same credentials. The effect is to disconnect the other remote session and lock the system on its
console, and for the new session to inherit the original process, seeing the same desktop with the same apps open.
I then run mstsc to establish another remote control session, this time using an account that is an administrator on that system. It tells me my regular account is already logged on, and gives me two options, abort my new session, or log the user out. using
my admin credentials, I cannot take over the user's session and see what applications he has open or what drives he may have mapped.

Mapping drive using GPO does not obey to Item-level targeting

Dear all,
We are mapping drive using Item-level targeting based on security group (User Configuration > Preferences > Windows Settings > Drive Maps) with the following settings:
Action: Replace
Run in logged-on user's security context: <Checked>
Item-level targeting: <Checked>
So if user is member of Group_X then he/she will have drive X mapped on his computer.
Problem now is that (even if reconnect is unchecked), drive will stay mapped when we remove a user from this group.
Is this the normal behavior ? did I missed something ?
or even worst, imho, should I add a new drive properties which would say to delete the drive if user does not belong to the relevant group ?
-> double targeting query for a single drive
-> what's the point of Replace / Reconnect then ?
Thanks in advance for your opinions!
/behd
[EDIT: Forgot to specify Win2008R2 AD, Win7 Pro clients but doubt that it'll be of any interest for this case]

Drive mapping should not remain after you remove the user from the group.
What I suspect is, that at first, the "reconnect" was checked then the user got the policy and tattooed the reconnect value. after that it doesn't matter that "reconnect" was removed.
Try the following:
Logon with test user, make sure no drive mapping exist (disconnect if necessary).
Create a new policy with drive map - make sure reconnect is not checked, and apply it for the test user.
Make sure no other drive mapping policy exist for that user.
Login with the test user, make sure drive was mapped.
Log off that user, remove it from the group, wait for AD replication and log on again (sometimes another log off \ log on required).
Please take a moment to Vote as Helpful and/or Mark as Answer where applicable. Thanks.

Net use map drive is working with built-in admin account only

I currently have a windows 7 PC that I use
net use in cmd file to map drive to Windows server 2008.
It works if I use built-in admin account/password but I've tried another account that's in the administrator group on the server and I get errors.
NET USE X: \\IPADD\c$\inetpub\ftproot password /User:adminuseraccount
NET USE X: \\IPADD\c$\inetpub\ftproot password /User:server\adminuseraccount
After tweaking the net use command a number of ways, the 2 following errors are what I'm getting for the most part:
System error 1219 has occurred.
Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more
than one user name, are not allowed. Disconnect all previous connections to the
server or shared resource and try again.
OR
System error 5 has occurred.
Access is denied.
I've looked at many searches on this but can't get this to work.
Also, one thing I'm thinking of doing is changing the built-in admin name and password. Is this a safe thing to do?
Thanks,
Dave

DFS and Windows 7 x64 strange behavior when trying to access a DFS link through mapped drive

I've manually mapped a network drive (Q Drive) to a DFS location. Whenever I go into "My Computer" and open the Q Drive it shows the DFS links but when I double click one of the links it randomly takes me back to the "My Computer" starting point showing my standard drive letters. If I click through the Q drive and the DFS several time it all of the sudden works. Sometimes this circle of clicking can go on for 5-10 times before it works properly.
I'm running the x64 edition of Windows 7. Any suggestions on how to make this work properly? Its very annoying.

GPO mapped namespace where you can't connect through the mapped drive letter but can connect through the DFS UNC namespace? Do you use access based enumeration?
I personally think it has something to do with network bandwidth, the security token and offline files. =)
You can access the namespace itself but not any of the linked shares (try checking the ACL:s on the shares and you get permission denied, but you still see them, ie they are listed).
I found a post sometime ago about corrupted/trunkated security tokens. If the member was part of too many AD groups the token was trunkated and corrupted. That was going to be my next move. Sniff the traffic and see what actually happens when the issue occur
if theres something to be learnt there. Since it works correctly through the UNC adress but not through the drive letter you ough to be able to see what is different between the two requests.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2008/05/14/troubleshooting-kerberos-authentication-problems-name-resolution-issues.aspx
One thing I noted was that it only happened to remotely connected computers on slow 3G connections (we use Direct Access). Never on LAN-connected computers with GB access or remote computers with fast (>15Mbps) access. We also use folder redirection,
which I think could be part of the problem, ie the share never goes online, atleast for us the issue was itermittent, it never happend all of the time, just from time to time. And if I disconnected and reconnected it could fix the issue for that particular
sessions, usually it didn't but occasionally it did (just pulling the network cable and put it back). Check the offline/online status the folders show up as offline even though they are online.
Enough of my ramblings. Sorry to hear you still have the problem and I hope you find a way to solve it.

Mapped drive duplicating in windows 8.1

I upgraded to Windows 8.1 a little while ago and have run Windows Update recently. For the most part, things seem to be working fine.
One issue that I have noticed is that one of my mapped drives keeps duplicating. This seems to happen after every restart, or shutdown.
I have Hyper-V set up and I mapped drive T:\ to a folder on that drive. It has been working fine for a year.
After getting the latest update for Windows 8.1, when I go into File Explorer, I will see that drive listed as all other available drive letters as well as drive T:\.
I can disconnect them, but it is a pain to have to do that over and over - I cannot map other drive letters to other folders if they are in use. I need to do that periodically for testing client issues.
I have searched the forums and did not find any open threads for this.
It is a standalone workstation that is networked with other computers but it is not on a domain. This is the only other computer I use all the time that has Windows 8.1 installed.
Please help.

Hi,
You can try clean boot to determine if a 3rd party software causes this issue.
If this is not the cause, I suggest you modify the registry value of mapped drivers to see if this issue persists:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ Map Network Drive MRU then delete the duplicated drive path.
If this issue persists, please try another user account for test.
Regards,
Yolanda

No 3rd party software is causing the issue.
I went to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ Map Network Drive and there is only the default, nothing else.
There are no other user accounts on this machine.
