I have 3 La Cie NAS drives that are accessed by, amongst others, 2 Win 10 machines.

Over the last week or so on booting, one of the machines has started reporting 2 of the drives as not ready. Without doing anything with the drives themselves, disconnecting and mapping them again via 'This PC' fixes the problem and the drives are accessible.

The other Win 10 machine doesn't exhibit this problem and the 3rd La Cie drive is fine on both machines.

Any ideas?

Win10 version 2404 can cause these sorts of issues ( a bug in that update/upgrade) , with mapped network shares (shares on old servers, old NAS's )
If its that, you'll need to make a batch file that runs on startup : 'net use' to reconnect/re-map the mapped drive , without the /persistent option

run winver on the Win10 PC's , to see what build version you have.
