Mapped Drive gets disconnected

1] Turn off the auto-disconnect feature

Windows will drop idle connections after a specified time-out period, I think it is 15 minutes by default, to prevent wasting resources. You can, however, easily re-establish the connection manually.

If you wish to turn off the auto-disconnect feature, type the following in an elevated command prompt and hit Enter.

net config server /autodisconnect:-1

2] Turn off auto-tuning network

If it occurs while copying large files over network drives, it could be due to the auto-tuning network.

To turn it off, open an elevated command prompt windows, type the following, and hit Enter:

netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled

It should help.

3] Turn-off the auto-disconnect using Registry

To turn-off the auto-disconnect feature, you could also edit the Windows Registry. Navigate to the following key in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters

Change the hexadecimal value of autodisconnect to ffffffff. Click OK and Exit.

Hope something here helps you resolve the issue.
