Simconnect / Windows 10 Upgrade Breaks Network Sharing

Featured Replies

It seems like EVERY TIME Microsoft upgrades Windows 10 it breaks the networking so products like Active Sky Next won't work via the network (FRUSTRATING!).  Does anybody know of a FSUIPC weather add-on that I can use that isn't reliant on Network shares and Simconnect like Active Sky Next?  I have already written to Damian of Active Sky to convert the AS line over to FSUIPC.

Anyone else having this issue with Simconnect / Windows 10 Networking??

Thanks!

I've never had any issues with Networking and Microsoft updates/upgrades with regards to Simconnect or Network shares. I've always have run Active Sky, ATC-X on a secondary PC.

Whenever I do have an issue, it's always a firewall setting. I don't use the built in firewall that comes with Windows 10. If you are, maybe it gets re-set when doing an Windows upgrade. Just a thought.

Thanks for the reply.

It was working fine until Windows 10 performed an update.  Now AS Next can’t find the network shares at all!

 

i will check the firewall.

 

Thanks again.

Checked the Firewall, and disabled it.  Still having the same problem.

 

Any ideas

The most common change I’ve seen after updates is the network mode being changed to Public. Check this and make sure it’s set to private.

Cheers

David.

The most common issue I have when Win 10 installs an update is that it turns off simple file sharing support. 

Go to Control Panel -> Programs and features -> Turn Windows Features on/off

Ensure that SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support is enabled.  Every Win 10 update since 1803 has turned it off on me and screwed up my network shares.

Thanks everyone!

 

Well after researching,

This article seemed to have the resolution.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4092694/windows-10-file-sharing-over-a-network

Make sure the computers are on the same network. For example, if your computers connect to the internet through a wireless router, make sure they all connect through the same wireless router.

If you're on a Wi-Fi network, set it to Private. To find out how, read Make a Wi-Fi network public or private in Windows 10.

Turn on network discovery and file and printer sharing, and turn off password protected sharing.

Select the Start  button, then select Settings  > Network & Internet , and on the right side, select Sharing options.

Under Private, select Turn on Network discovery and Turn on file and printer sharing.

Under All Networks, select Turn off password protected sharing.

Make sharing services start automatically.

Press the Windows logo key  + R.

In the Run dialog box, type services.msc, and then select OK.

Right-click each of the following services, select Properties, if they're not running, select Start, and next to Startup type, select Automatic:

Function Discovery Provider Host

Function Discovery Resource Publication

SSDP Discovery

UPnP Device Host
