  1. How do you block a device from connecting


    I'm on a Macbook with intel running windows 10 22h2 and I connect a usb c hub to connect ethernet, card, usb-a, hdmi, etc. Except theres this problem with the card reading part of this drive and it keeps on connecting and disconnecting and the sound it makes everytime it does is super annoying so I need a way to get rid of it from connecting or at least make that sound stop. I saw it from settings > devices > bluetooth & other devices. The damn thing just kept on popping in and out of existence and its annoying when it makes a sound everytime it connects/disconnects.

  2. 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

    Remove blocked device from Connect app WIndows 10

    Recently I blocked one device from connecting to the PC via Connect app. I used "Always block" as a option. Now I want to unblock that device, but I don't know how. I can't find any list of blocked devices in settings.

      Control panel.

      right to Large icons.

    Step 2: I suggest you to check the Bluetooth Settings and check if it helps.


    • Open Control Panel by clicking the
      Windows + X,

    • In the Control Panel search box, type
      Bluetooth, and then click Change Bluetooth settings.

    • In the Bluetooth Settings dialog box, click the
      Options tab and do any of the following:

    • To make your computer discoverable to Bluetooth enabled devices, select the check box for
      Allow Bluetooth devices to find this computer.

    • To allow you to add Bluetooth enabled devices to your computer, select the check box for
      Allow Bluetooth devices to connect to this computer.

    • To be notified when a Bluetooth enabled device is trying to connect to your computer, select the check box for
      Alert me when a new Bluetooth device wants to connect.
