My WD Smartware NOW is very stable and working again

This is an email I just sent to WD tech that I have been working with.

Since you helped to better my WDSmartware, I have been investigating both my systems.  I now have made several changes that now have both system working perfectly.

 

1.         I also now can DELETE any file & folder from either computer or my cellphone to my book and all system works great.  To delete a file or folder I use WD My Cloud or my cell phone app.  All system so far are working and stable.  I will see if deleting from Windows exporer if things work fine.  I am kind of happy right now everything is working.

 

2.         Both work computers and cell app are working great.

 

What did I do.

 

1.         I looked at my system event viewer and saw some errors.

2.         I looked at Windows services.

3.         I looked at MS Config.

 

First I had all MSconfig items load and start.  Microsoft tech web site says it is better to change from Services.  (why then they have a check box?) Then restarted computer.

Then I went thru ALL Windows Services.  I returned all services back to Windows Default.  Per Black Viper Web Site.  Then restarted computer.

Then deleted & reinstalled your program.

 

All work GREAT.

 

Windows services that I changed from disabled or something to per Black Viper Windows DEFAULT; Certificate Propagation, Distributed Link Tracking Client, IP Helper, MS ISCSI Initiator, Net MSMG Listener, Net Pipe Listener, Net TCP Listener, Net Port Sharing,  Netlogon, Network Protection Agent, Routing & Remote Access, SNMP Trap.

 

When I look at my Services now, NONE are disabled.  I think over the years some have been changed by whomever.  But WD Smartware now likes my setup.

 

I think you may want to look into clients services when you do a remote access and change them back to default.  At least the ones WD say MUST be used. 

 

I did notice that after you recommended service changes of Net TCP Port, Network Connection, SSDP thing worked better but not always.  When I further made all the default changes, that is when it became very stable.
