Hi,
Can you please explore diff troubleshooting steps over here and see if it helps, also do you have exclusions for the Antivirus for specific Apps and Folders ?

Hello, @Vulquin ! The symptoms you describe might point towards a possible sharing conflict of the profile. Are you enabling read-only or read-write profiles? Have you tried to configure concurrent profile access? Also, have you ensured that FSLogix profile logs are enabled and are there any errors there?
Mine was group policy set to "create" drive mapping vs "update" and would close the explorer window.

Hello, @Vulquin !
Why is Windows Explorer closing by itself on Azure Virtual Desktop?
There are a number of reasons for this that make it hard to diagnose over the forums so we may have to look directly at your resources, however I reached out to the Azure Virtual Desktop team and the symptoms you have described (relating to AVD with FSLogix) point towards a possible sharing conflict of the profile itself.
Troubleshooting:
If those don't point towards a cause, then we'll need to look at your resources in order to determine what is happening. Please email the following to AzCommunity@microsoft.com and we'll get back to you promptly:

Hello, thank you for your answers.
the problem came from the network drives mounted via GPO
the GPO was safe to replace and I set it to Update and since then no more disconnection problems.
Thank you again for following up, @Vulquin ! I've upvoted your comment and will repost your answer for additional visibility.
