• Windows 2012 R2 updates breaking DevStudio Networking

    From Tom Schaefer@21:1/5 to All on Sun Sep 15 13:59:23 2019
    I read a few posts about Windows 10 updates affecting Express so I thought I would see if anyone had a similar experience with updates to Windows 2012R2 updates. I have a simple DE1000 DevStudio Personal on Windows 2012R2 Server and the last two monthly
    updates from Microsoft have stopped external networking from working. As soon as I back out those updates, all works again.

    Anyone have a similar experience?

    One more data point on this issue -- I allowed the Windows 10 laptop
    where I have DE1000 DevStudio Personal installed to update from the 1803 version of Win10 to 1903. After that update, MCP networking would not
    work at all -- the NX/Net adapters had disappeared from the Windows list
    of adapters.

    Updating NX/Net to the latest version available on the Unisys support
    site (059.1A.10, from September 2018) brought the adapters back, and
    networking now initializes, but any attempt to use networking (e.g.,
    ping the Windows side of the EVLAN) causes the entire system to blue-screen.

    This is essentially the same behavior we've seen with MCP Express on
    Win10. I'm fairly confident that falling back to 1803 will resolve the
    problem, but Win10 has been warning me lately that 1803 will be going
    off support in November, so a longer-term solution is needed, and soon.

    Any chance you could upgrade to CSS 2.1? Nxnet goes away.
