Hi,

 

Approximately once a month my computer, while unattended over the weekend or overnight, will lock up and I have to do a forced hard shutdown and reboot. Curiously,  and probably related, during this lockup none of the other computers in the network are able to communicate with each other. Once the offending computer is rebooted, the network functions normally again.

 

I tried updating, uninstalling the network and display drivers on the one PC but no luck.  I am always up to date on Win 10 updates.

It is difficult to test since the lockups are somewhat infrequent and random but it is a real disruption to my business.

 

I am using Win10 Pro on all machines.

 

I don't know if it's related but some time ago I had to turn on some services on all the PCs to get all machines visible to the network browser:

DNS client
Function Discovery and Resource Publication
SSDP Discovery
UpnP Device Host

 

Thanks for any suggestions.
