Win 10: Disable "Restoring Network Connections" popup when connection to network drives drop

Question

Whenever I get disconnected from my network drives and I happen to have like 10 folders of the network drive folders opened, 10 of these pop-ups will show up and I cannot close any of the windows unless I manually click on OK on every popup. Could I disable this error message somehow?

Answer 1

I found a guide that I sadly cannot follow without admin rights.

But in short:

• Open the Registry Editor
• Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider
• Create a "DWORD Value" called RestoreConnection and set the value to 0 (or change value if it already exists)

Answer 2

Happens to me all the time.

I use AutoHotkey quite often, so I wrote this script and run it every time these messages pop up.

wintitle:="Restoring Network Connections"
Loop {
    if (WinExist(wintitle))
    {   
        WinActivate, %wintitle%
        WinWaitActive, %wintitle%,,3
        Send, {Return}
        Sleep, 200
    }
    else
    {
        ExitApp, 0
        Return
    }
}

It cycles through these windows and presses Enter on each to close them.
