Trouble with network storage after reboot

I've got my Aux 1 folder set to a network folder on a different PC in my house. I only use this for long term storage of clips I manually save. Nothing happens on this drive automatically.

Recently Windows did a big update or something (the reboot process took 15+ minutes and gave me a big welcome to windows screen after it finally updated/restarted).

Now whenever I restart the PC, BI says NAS location can't be reached. When I try to access the network storage folder from file explorer it asks for my credentials, but won't accept any the username/password for any of my machines.

Once I go to Network Connections and disable/enable the ethernet connection on my BI PC (the one that did the windows update), everything works fine. I can access the network folder without entering credentials and BI sees it without having to do anything there either. Next reboot, I have to disable/enable the ethernet connection again. The internet connection works fine before the disable/enable. It appears to just be a LAN issue?

It's clearly not a BI problem since I can't access the network folder in File Explorer either, so is this is bug with a windows update or am I missing something obvious?
 
Insure that the Windows Update did not change your NIC's network properties from "Private" to "Public."

Although I don't see how this would cause your particular issue but an update has been changing the network properties and causing other network issues for many people. :cool:
