Network folders added to sidebar in Finder cannot be accessed after wakeup or NAS reboot

Hello.


After upgrading to Tahoe I noticed a weird behavior. I have a couple of network folders added to the sidebar in Finder (under Favorites). When I wake up my Macbook from sleep, those folders are displayed on the sidebar, but they appear unmounted and when I try to click them, instead of re-mounting them, system displays error message saying


"" can't be opened because the original item can't be found


The same scenario happens when I have those folders mounted, but NAS is being rebooted. At first macbook displays warning about disconnection, which is expected, but then clicking shared folder results in the same error message as above, even though NAS is fully rebooted and operational.


This was not the case in Sequoia. Even if NAS was temporarily disconnected or I was fresh after wakeup, clicking not mounted network folder under favorites would automatically re-mount it, without any error message? Is there a new setting or configuration I have to do to bring back previous behavior? It is driving me nuts...


Please help

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 26.0
