Description

### Description

After a system restart, any mounted SMB network shares do not appear in the network shares list or the sidebar. However going to map network drive shows that the mount already exists on the previously assigned drive letter. Selecting that drive letter and setting a folder path that isn't identical to the previous one shows a warning about a remembered connection.
