WD Smart Ware Windows 2.4.4 makes Windows Explorer has stopped working

 2ea. Win 7 Pro Sp1 64 bit PC that have run perefect with no issue.  

After installing WD Smart Ware Windows release 2.4.4  and setting up the following services to automatic:

  • Net tcp (listener & port sharing)  = automatic
  • Network discovery   = automatic
  • All services that start with “network”   = automatic
  • Ssdp discovery   = automatic  
  • Upnp device host   = automatic
  • Volume shadow copy   = automatic
  • Workstation   = automatic

I start having both PC with Windows Explorer has stopped working

Microsoft support tells me.

  • Some applications or services running on your PC may be causing Windows Explorer to stop working

Unhappy with 6TB New MyCloud that waspurchased to backup 5 PC and mobile devices.

Not going to happen since it is not compatible with Win7 Pro 64

The Backup up program is not freindly

I like it to download to a file I choose. Not having to login to WD My Cloud to Cut and Paiste it to the files.

It does not back up all files. It seem to choose what it wants to backup and leave other files behind.

Not what I paid for  and I expect an UPDATE to be tested before you send out to the public.

Have you read information that is provided in Help? How about the User Manuals?

For SmartWare did you choose a share to backup to by using the dropdown menu? See image below. Are you doing a category or file backup?

If you have five PC’s plus mobile devices surely you should be able to use this one, the My Cloud. See image below.
