    Windows 10 Shares keeps disappearing ?


    I have a server which is running Windows 10
    and every 1 or 2 days it keeps disappearing from my Network on my Gaming PC
    and the Only solution is to restart My Server or to go to services on my server and restart these 2 services
    1-Function Discovery Resource Publication
    2-Function Discovery provider
    and then my server will appear again on my network in my gaming PC so i can transfer files to it

    someone on reddit told me to disable and Uncheck the SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support
    since Windows 10 has Smb3 preinstalled

    I don't know if I need to Uncheck SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support ?

    When it disapears to should be able to connect if you use its IP you need to know which PC is master browser as Windows doesn't look for things on the network it asks the master browser which cań take 20+ mins to find new PCs that's only used to resolve by name that's why you should be able to use IP in the mean time. Adding the server to the host file may resolve it. Is it a server or just a PC?

    Same issue here with the 64-bit version. Any solutions out there?

    Update: I think I found a solution to the disappearing mapped network drive to the Western Digital MyCloud NAS. The NAS had SMB 3 enabled. I changed that to SMB 2. I also deleted the stored credentials on my Surface for the NAS. (Trying to connect started asking for user name and password when this issue surfaced after the update to 2004.) Then I mapped the drive again, and this time it opened and comes back after a restart with no prompting for credentials. Hopefully it won't disappear again.

    Update Two: I realized that part of the puzzle is creating a user on the NAS that has the same user name and password as I use on the PC, and allowing that user read/write permission to the spare. The drive would not connect reliability without that. Whatever to make it work.

    Bumping this thread so my workaround can be more visible. See below.
