Mapped drives not accessible after PC reboot (ReadyNAS RN102)
RN102 OS: 6.10.5 When I was mapping the network drives for the Shares on RN102 on a new Win 10 PC, Win 10 asked me to log in which is unusual because it did not ask for that on my old PC, given also...

There are two accounts: Admin and David (i.e. me).
Ok. Try the same two commands using David (with David's password). You can't map /data that way, but you can map any share David has access to.
net use * /delete /y
net use z: \\nas-ip-address\sharename /user:David DavidPassword
If this works, then edit the two credentials to use David (with the correct password), and see if that lets you access the shares consistently.
Although it can be convenient to mount the entire data volume, it's safer to use user credentials and not admin.

How to make the password persistent?
I'm not seeing that issue on my own machines.
I'm wondering if the credentials have the wrong password somehow. That would explain the symptom (the NAS is rejecting the first access due to the wrong password, and Windows is reprompting).
You could edit the two credentials in the Windows Credential manager (leaving the account as admin), and save the password again if you want to test this theory.
Is your user name on the computer "David", but the password is different than used for the NAS? That can cause issues. I had a similar problem, and found that to be the cause. My solution was to not make the connections persistent and create a batch file that maps them, asking for the password when it does.

The name of the Windows account where it login to the NAS is not exactly David. The weird thing is that the setup is exactly the same on two existing computers and there are no problems with them . I have also removed NAS account David from Shares permission, now all of them are Anonymous, except Home Folders which has Admin permission. See image.
Can you provide commands for the batch file?
