Windows 10 Domain Credentials lost, have to reenter each time for mapped drives

So I have a Windows 2008 r2 Server (domain) Environment. Upgraded 2 of the workstations to Windows 10 Pro. When the users login they lose their credentials when going to access mapped drives-- that is - they already have an X on them. We have to click on the drive and re-enter the domain\username and password a second time and then it works. I've also put it in credential manager but same result.

I've been scouring the forums trying to find a solution. So far I've implemented hardened unc paths in GPO policy and specified mutualauthentication... I don't recall the entire syntax but I found that on technet-- still didn't work.

it's also important to note that GPOs for mapped drives don't work AT ALL. I can manually map the drives and access the server resources without issue but after login I have to enter the credentials.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

Delete the saved password in credential manager. If on domain it authenticates during login.

Otherwise take off domain and rejoin
 
Take a look at the "runas" command; it has a "savecred" switch, which you need to manually type in the first time you run it, but then it will stick. It would be a roundabout solution, but you could use a logon script with the runas command to call a script that would map the drives.

Code:
:: Example syntax for this
runas /user:domain\admin script.bat /savecred

Here script.bat would be a script using the "net use" command to map the drives.
