I really don't know what it is, but from what you're telling, it does seem to be a UMS problem. I would search in the direction of display drivers or Windows 8 problems. I found a link with similar problem in an email appliction. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-ecoms/mail-...

Ok but you did not mention in your post that you have no logs either. So maybe something went wrong in your install. Do you have java installed correctly? I would suggest do a complete uninstall of java and UMS and install again from scratch. After uninstall I would check directories and registery t...

So you are using DHCP and your router gave you another IP number for no reason?

If everything is running fine with disabled firewall, you have to check your firewall rules. And especially the one for wrapper.exe I checked my own...

You are probably getting low response because you don't mention anything about your setup. Which version did work correctly. Have you tried reverting back to that version? Also why do you need port forwarding? Usually you only need that if your renderer sits in another network than you UMS server an...

Strange that you could not get it to work with the firewall disabled. Because there must be a lot of users out there running UMS on Windows 8 successfully. Did you also restart the PC when disabling the firewall? Restart UMS? I'm not a bitdefender expert, but it seems there is something you could tr...

It's a bit strange that UMS does not detect 10.0.0.10. So maybe you have to check your network first. Take it one step at a time. Check your network adapter(s) and router. Try to ping 10.0.0.10 from your Windows system. Also, if you have a Android device, like mobile phone or tablet try install the ...
