Mapped drives keep disconnecting after a while. :(

So I have Plex installed on a Windows 10 machine and have a drive mapped to my Media computer where the video files are. I have a problem that every so often, the mapped drive disconnects and shows the Red X. I have to remote into the Plex machine and simply click on the Mapped drive to reactivate it and then everything works fine.

I went into the NIC settings and unchecked the "Turn this device off to save power" or whatever that checkbox is. I couldn't find any other settings that might be causing this.

Anyone know of a setting somewhere that would possibly be causing this to happen and how I can make it stop?

Thanks.

I did find something online that mentioned a command:
net config server /autodisconnect:-1

So, I ran that on the system. I'll have to monitor it for a few days and see if it happens again. If anyone knows anything else about this, let me know.

Thanks.

Is the media server rebooting to install updates?

It installs them automatically so that would have been a week and a half ago. the drive disconnected within the last day or two again.

Did you try putting UNC in the folders setting in plex as opposed to drive letter?

Also check the drive map and see if reconnect on boot or is it reconnect on access.
