I run ESET Internet Security ¨C no problems at all. I have Windows 10 Pro, so disabled Defender completely via Group Policies.? Peace of mind¡­

Something Windows DID mess up with a recent update : I keep my time set via Meinberg NTP, which during installation disables the Windows Time Service. Windows decided on it¡¯s own to turn this back on ¨C and as a result interfered with Meinberg¡­. JTDX (my operating platform of choice) has a nice feature that highlights a warning if the time goes significantly out based on average DTs,? and upon checking immediately disabled the offending Windows Time Service ¨C voila, back to exact time!!

Bottom line : after a Windows Update, check EVERYTHING!!!

We use an alternative AV here as well and WIndows-10 Pro did no turn Defender back on at the last update? It has popped up a few "NAG" notices about turning Windows Firewall back on? but did not override my current settings.

IMPORTANT WARNING!!!

I am neither a computer nor a cyber-security expert.
I offer this information as a "good faith" attempt to help people who do not seem to understand how to work with Windows Defender. I am merely sharing what I have done and has worked for me.

While believed to be correct, this advice comes with no guarantees of any kind. You alone remain responsible for the security of information on your computer system, as well as the continuing proper operation of your equipment.

The following info explains how to do two things in Windows Defender:

1. Get a file out of quarantine

2. Set up Exclusions for DXLab Suites (or any program) so they don't get quarantined (again)

Doing #2 assumes some risk as has been discussed to death on this list. But it should stop DXL programs from being quarantined.

Doing #1 gets your file out of quarantine, if you had not already done #2, or chose not to do #2 and as a result, will? have to repeatedly do #1 every time a new update comes out.

What follows here is a link to the text file which explains step by step how to do #1 and #2 above. It is taking you to my Google Drive and giving you permission to download it.?

If you are worried that it might contain something bad, don't download it!



If you don't understand the instructions or can't get them to work, I cannot help you. They work for me, and I don't want to be inundated with "how do I" , "how come", "why does it",? etc...

For those whom it can help as it stands, feel free to use it. For those who cannot, look for a better source.

Re: Commander loosing control of radios

 

If power on the USB port were the problem it seems the other Commander would
see the same thing. I think it is something else.
