need some help. we are running home directories off of a windows 2016 server and using windows 10 laptops.(they are toshiba ultrabooks but not sure the model off hand). we discovered that the user group 'everyone' was allowed on the root of the drive where the shares are located and people could access each others home directories. i stripped the permissions off of the drive but now lots of users are noticing when their computers go to sleep and wake up they dont have access to some of the folders in their home directory. they can access all folders that are available offline, but any custom folders they set up in their h drives have grey X's over them and they have to gpupdate>restart to get access again. this all happened after stripping the group 'everyone' from the root of the drive. any help or idea would be much appreciated.

    Hi，

    Does the issue resolve after the users restart the computer? If not, what is the detailed issue now, please provide the related screenshot.

    Best Regards,
