Hi Guys,
Just a heads up. I currently have 5 legacy sites running Advantage Database Server down after installing the latest Windows 10 update.
Tried the usual tricks (firewall, anti-virus etc) but no joy.
Not sure if there are any Fox folks using this, but it's commonly used with xBase++.
We don't use Advantage, but we had a problem with a machine trying to use remote desktop after the latest update for W10. Had to uninstall it. It kept saying something about security corruption. .

The old 'Allow remote connections to this computer' is enabled in system settings and firewall is OK. There is now a new setting 'Enable Remote Desktop On/Off' in Settings -> Remote Desktop.
Thanks Microsoft. I installed this update remotely and now I'm locked out.
We also had some fall-out from the Windows updates just released. This link seems to describe the root cause:

Thanks Paul. Now maybe I'll have to talk someone through how to change it, since it's a remote site.

One of my clients had to recreate all their RDP settings. Whether that was related to this change, or just because the target machine changed its DNS name and that didn't show until the monthly reboot, well, we may never know.
The post I made earlier about blocking the "April Update" also had some suggestions on settings you could use to hold off the regular monthly updates for up to 30 days, to let someone else beta-test them :) I set that up here on the couple of machines running Pro versions of Windows. Not that I paid for them ;)

"hold off the regular monthly updates for up to 30 days", god! I had forgotten what Wd$ was all about. Thanks for the reminder.

This issue is caused because SMB2 is disabled! Thanks to Alan Bourke for pointing me in the right direction.
