After updating Win10, UMS stops working

Post by BerndGie »

Hello,

After the latest update from Windows10, I can not find the UMS on my Samsung TV anymore.
After a restore to an earlier version of Windows it works again.

What could be the mistake? :!:

It's very likely that it's the firewall rules enforced by the update. You must make sure that UMS can communicate with the renderer(s).

even after a new installation, the UMS can no longer be found on TV.
During the installation you have to confirm the release for the firewall.

I had the same problem after installing a recent update for win 10. I had to manually go into my firewall settings to re enable access for java as windows decided to mess with the rules.

Yes if the program is still visible on the computer but just not showing up on the TV, and a OS restore fixes it, it is likely a firewall configuration issue.
You could try removing the firewall entries for javaw.exe and then it should re-prompt you. Make sure you give it full permissions like public and private, not just public
