  1. [Cannot connect to server "Windows"] pop up for no explicable reason


    Windows 10 on parallels on mac, Suddenly on startup I get a pop up box that says [there was a problem connecting to server "windows"] and below it the standard server may not exist, check ip etc. But I have NO CLUE what or where this is trying to connect. I have no server with the actual name "windows". I can't think of anything I did differently between before this this message popped up and after. It comes up on startup from sleep or from reset or stop and restart. there is an image in the message of a disk drive looking thing with three silhouette people on a blue background. Seems like I've seen it before but can't place it. I'm betting it's generic but just in case I hunted for it as a logo but didn't find it.
    Any ideas on how I can find out what is generating this?

    :)

    Xbox App "Server Connectivity" "Blocked"

    Hi,

    There are several reasons why the Xbox app server connectivity is blocked. It is possible that
    your PC was unable to establish a Teredo IPsec connection to the Quality of Service (QoS) server or your Firewall settings are blocking the connection. To properly isolate your concern, please provide us the following information:

    • Is your computer connected to a wired or wireless internet connection?
    • Have you made any changes on your computer prior to the issue?
    • Are you experiencing the same issue in safe mode with networking? To start Windows in safe mode with networking, you can follow the steps on this
