When a network drive (net use
) is physically disconnected, Windows Explorer (and other programs) keeps trying to enumerate and/or use it for maybe 60 seconds.
Is there some way to reduce this timeout to maybe 5 seconds?
Just to clarify, I'm not asking about network drives that are automatically disconnected by Windows after a certain period of time, or about automatic reconnections during login.
The question is about this:
Connect a network drive to another computer. Then turn that other computer off. Then try to reconnect the network drive, e.g. by double-clicking in Windows Explorer → very long timeout. How do I reduce this timeout?
@Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 Thanks for the bounty. But I think people still misunderstand. I tried to rephrase the question again to make it clearer. – Andreas Haferburg – 2014-12-16T13:07:25.413
1@AndreasHaferburg No problem, if you've got time to test some of the new answers, that'd be handy. :) – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2014-12-16T13:31:53.803
None of the registry changes suggested in the answers seem to help. I suspect that the timeout we would like to reduce is actually not a SMB timeout, but a more generic TCP/IP timeout (or a combination of several of them). – mivk – 2018-08-19T15:13:29.540
