I did not install KB5044384 (known problem with this)
Hi All,
I will first of all say
I am running the above version of Avast
In Windows 11 23H2 flawlessly.
I installed windows 11 version 24H2
I found I had a problem with my network
Shared Drives.
I could see all my WI-FI Laptop and WI-FI
PC Shared Drives in the network section of File Explore.
But I could NOT see any of the 5 PC that
were connected using CAT8 Ethernet cable.
They were just not showing in the network section of File Explorer.
I could access them in full if I typed their network address
into File Explorers Directory Bar path:
eg:\192.168.0.68\SharedFolder
I spent the next 4 days checking all the Network settings
in the bowels
of win 24H2 Network settings services,windows group policy editor,
you name it I checked it out.
Finally in desperation I uninstalled Avast
and cleaned my system up of any left over bits from Avast
then I did a re boot of the PC.
And Hay Presto I could see all the CAT8 Ethernet connected PC.
I never thought for one minute it could have been Avast causing the problem,
as it has worked flawlessly in Win 23H2!
So my Question is:
what settings can I change in
in Avast to fix what seems to be a very complicated problem in Win 24H2?
TY
