April 14, 20197 yr I am using Active Sky on a network and I am connecting to the FlightSim computer using SimConnect and sharing the FSX and Flight Plan Folders ( as per the Active Sky instructions). It Seems LIKE EVERY TIME Windows 10 installs an update it completely screws up my mapped drive connections. Now I can't even re-establish the connections at all. I have the share on the flight sim computer set to Everyone applying the KISS rule. It was working, but after the latest Windows 10 Update, I AM SOL! I can ping the flight sim computer IP Address and Machine Name. Wide FS works fine. And probably SimConnect works, but the mapping to the FSX and Flight Plans folder is where I am struggling. Any ideas on how to work around this issue? Thanks! Edited April 14, 20197 yr by Skyseek
April 14, 20197 yr First, run services.msc, and set both Function Discovery Provider Host and Function Discovery Resource Publication to “Manual Start” Then, in Control Panel → Programs and Features → Turn Windows Features on/off, check SMB/CIF options to on (file sharing) I find I have to do this (to both the server and the remote PC) after every major Win 10 update or my network shares go into the twilight zone.

April 20, 20197 yr Author I found out from Microsoft that this is a Known Issue, and it will be corrected via the Windows 10 update at the end of April. Lets hope. Don't know how in the world this got past the Q/A department, and M$ had no workaround! Thanks! Edited April 20, 20197 yr by Skyseek
