Windows 10: Windows 10 Mapped Network Drive Keeps Getting Randomly Replaced w/CSC-CACHE Drive

Hello,One of our computers is having an issue with a mapped network drive that just started over the last few weeks. The main drive that it maps to when it logs in is "G:\" General, 1st screenshot and everything works fine for awhile then the drive changes the mapping to the users name i.e. John Doe but the drive letter remains the same see 2nd screenshot. I checked the properties of the drive that shouldn't be there and it shows that it is "offline", the type is "network drive" and the file system is "CSC-CACHE", used space "204GB" and free space "271GB". We don't use offline files a

mapped network drive cache

Hi there,

if I a map a network drive and I make it available offline, will the windows prefer to reach those files in the local cache or will reach them out over the network and if so, how frequently will it updating my folders?

Thanks!

 

Windows 10 - Mapped network drive cache

I am not able to use more than one drive that is mapped to the same computer. Our Win 7 and Win 8 computers do not have an issue. But, Win 10 does not allow mapping more than one drive letter to a server. I have three drive letters mapped to different
folders on the server (K:, W: and Y Whichever one I use first in the day works fine. The second one gives and error message:

Restoring Network Connections

An error occurred while reconnecting Y: to \\SMCO\Vol1

Microsoft Windows Network: 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.

This connection has not been restored.

I called Microsoft Support 800 642-7676 starting Monday morning. It is now Tuesday afternoon and I have spoken with representatives in Newdelhi, India and Turlock, Philippines, multiple times but they just bounce me to another representative.

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
