12Mapped Drives Keeps Disconnecting Randomly in Windows 10 Fix.
Before moving on with the solutions to stop network drives from disconnecting, make sure you can access the network location & you are using the latest version of Windows. Moreover, check if disabling/enabling SMB solves the problem. Also, ensure that the time/time-zone on the problematic system and host are set properly. Additionally, check if you are using GPT (if using UEFI) to boot the system. Furthermore, check if changing your network credentials (try using the same credentials as you use to log in to the system) solves the problem. Last but not least, make sure no task in the Task Scheduler is causing the issue.

A mapped network drive is one of the most useful things a computer user can do. Think of it as a storage device that is not technically integrated and not part of your installation, but allows you to store and access your data as if it were hosted locally. It works like a storage drive that you have full access to but is physically stored on another computer.
The ability to map devices is present in most modern computer setups – whether it’s computers or phones. These mapped drives are widely used by people to store files that take up a lot of space on a network with a lot of disk space, while still being able to use them locally.
