Windows 10 WiFi & H5000
We have Expedition running on a new Windows 10 Pro laptop connected via WiFi to an H5000.
We see the H5000 via the browser interface but Expedition sees no data via websockets.
Windows Firewall is disabled, Expedition is added to the network exception list, etc. I've seen that others have had similar problem but haven't found a list of what to check on any forum.
Any ideas?

I can't see those images?
You shouldn't need to disable the firewall.
Is there anything in the raw data window?

Re: Windows 10 WiFi & H5000
We fixed this with a Windows 10 generic from scratch reinstall from a pure image (not an OEM image) with no "Enhanced Microsoft Experience" or other "value added" features. This means only a local user, no OneDrive, no Office 365, no 3rd party anti-virus, etc.
- The WiFi Network Profile (under the net's properties) is "Private" and Metered connection is enabled. The profile change may be the significant one, the metered connection should prevent Windows Update and other services from firing up when at sea.
- Disabled Windows Defender Firewall on "Private" networks. Probably unnecessary.
YMMV. Caveat emptor. Illegitimi non carborundum.
