Hiccups after upgrade to Windows 10 version 1909
DallasNights:
I will check on the Norton uninstall, it is subscribed through my Centurylink internet service as part of that package. I assume there would be a reinstall after the initial uninstall. Otherwise is a nonstarter. Thanks
JimH:
Take a look through the thread we keep on antivirus problems:
https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=86096.msg588759#msg588759
Norton makes many appearances there. Try a search. You'll find about 10 problems caused by Norton. Properly configured, it might work fine.
DallasNights:
Okay, I uninstalled Norton Antivirus Online from my laptop. I use my desktop for most everything else except Spotify. Anyway, I reset the buffer to the recommended 100 ms. Still after only 10 minutes playtime, got the skip. A bit more pronounced than at 500 ms, but it was there again. So I think perhaps we can rule out Norton as a source. Wish this wasn't such a head scratcher. Now I will admit my firewall is Windows Defender, but only the firewall. A little nervous to bring down the firewall, but suppose I could. Maybe I will reinstall Norton and then could disable the firewall temporarily. What do you think?
JimH:
Now configure Windows Defender.
DallasNights:
I went a little crazy and turned off the Windows Defender Firewall for about an hour. No skips. Okay, then turned it back on and went into Allow apps or Features through the Firewall. Long list and oddly, MC 22 showed up and neither Private nor Public box were checked to allow them through the firewall. So I checked those, then went to "Add an App" and browsed to MC 26 installed yesterday and added that. Checked both boxes to allow it through the firewall. Have been listening to Mozart for about 40 minutes so far since it is easy to detect any skips or hiccups. Also reset the buffer to the recommended 100ms. Again nothing so far, I will continue with this test to insure the problem is fully resolved. If this works, all I can say is it's Murphy's Law except that nothing is going wrong. I will get back in a few days and hopefully not sooner to verify this was the solution all along.
