Why am i offline
« on: September 17, 2019, 05:14:40 PM »
After many years of uploading to wu i am now off line and can not get back up. When i send test to wu it says i am ok with upload but when i go to my station data it says off line for the last 6 days. What is going on, i can not think of anything else to do. How can i test good but be off line?  :-(  Found the problem, for some reason the password and id was blank on my computer, very strange.

Did you recently do a re-boot? IIRC, that'll sometimes clear the fields.

You can't disable auto-updating on Windows 10.

Also you don't say what weather program you are running.

There are often ways to set up alerts if your data upload stops.

Well i am no geek about this stuff but i found by serching the web that you can turn off updating if you have w10 pro version by going into a section that lets you do it. I followed the instructions and check the box that disables updating. Will see how it works on the next update.

You can't disable auto-updating on Windows 10.
Pro and Enterprise versions have options for that.

Oh okay yes Pro and Enterprise...with registry edit or group policy edit.

Just out of curiosity, are any of your tweaks after a W10 update related to Scheduled Tasks not running without an edit of the trigger? If'n so, I'd love to chat off line.
