Win 10 and WD mycloud shares

Legacy Products My Cloud OS 3

when I boot my computers is is most of the times that win 10 have not mounted the shares it was assigned. Have someone a solution for this. My cloud have a fixed ip in router, all cables are cat7.
When I reboot the computer all is ok until next time I boot from cold start.

Are you indicating that a “mapped” Share is being lost when you boot from a cold start?

When mapping a Share are you or have you checked off the option to “Reconnect at sign-in”?

I have checked the reconnect option but my shares are marked with a red X so I have to open it to get the contens shown and red x to disappere. It goes for all shares. My clouds defalut and added USB3 wd elements.

OBS the shares are shown but not connected until I reboot or open it by clicking it.

I have raised the problematic in a windows 10 forum.

The red X on the My Cloud Shares after reboot or restart is apparently normal. It happens to me on both Windows 7 and Windows 10. The red X goes away as soon as I click on the Share to view the contents. I also often get a alert message in Windows 7 when the Windows desktop loads after boot indicating the mapped drives couldn’t be reconnected. This particular error is caused by Windows attempting to reconnect the drive mappings before the computer’s network connection is up and running.

There is some explanation for this Windows behavior at the following link(s):

The “turn on fast startup” option may not appear for everyone. It didn’t on several of my Windows 10 PC’s:

To get that option to appear one will need to perform the following action(s):

  1. Press the Windows logo key + X on your keyboard and then select “Command Prompt (Admin)“.
  2. At the command box type the following command and press Enter to enable hibernation: powercfg /hibernate on.
  3. Close the Command Prompt window and then re-open the Control Panel. Fast Startup should be there now.

here is what I did:

Right click the start button and choose Power Options from the context menu.
In the left column click “Choose what the power buttons do”

then you get the option on the buttom of the page to

turn of fast boot

turn on fast boot is default.

Correct, those are the steps to reach the power button option screen.

As indicated above and which the screen capture I posted above shows, the “Turn on fast Startup” may not be available on the Windows 10 power button option screen. If one doesn’t have the “Turn on fast Startup” in Windows 10 they can run the command I posted (powercfg /hibernate on) from the elevated command line prompt to enable it.
