cRIO MAX connection issue with Win10 Recent update 9-2019
We've recently had 4 of our Win10 systems running LV Real-time unable to connect in any way to cRIO's. They cannot discover a new chassis, or connect to a known configured chassis.
After many hours of unsuccessful debugging we discovered the following:
We discovered that the 'RIO Service Settings' in MAX were stopped and further, set to 'Manual' Start-up.
This could have happened during a Win10 update or a NI Update.
What makes this a problem is the 'Remote Systems' Troubleshooting Discovery utility crashes with a generic error code, and is not coded to detect that the RIO Services are not running...
What we did to repair:
1. Turn OFF windows Firewall, including the '3rd' Domain firewall. [Do this for the first repair attempt]
2. Run MAX as 'Admin' under Win10 [Right-click on the MAX icon and select 'Run as Admin'
3. From the MAX 'My System' pane; Set the 'RIO Services' as follows.
Once this was done, we were able to successfully connect to cRIO chassis.
