transfer cancelled - bridge, gets lost?

I had to make changes several times to a system yesterday. Each time I went to transfer the bridge had to be found. It wasn't the end of the world, just had to run and press the button again, and again....but the transfer would always go through, but,
last change of the day, and cannot transfer. it opens the find main repeater window (repeater shows as online), go the the bridge (shows offline), find the bridge (shows online now), save and close, transfer cancels. Tried finding bridge then repeater - same.
tried finding them in design tab then transfer - same.
tried rebooting repeater - same. tried rebooting bridge - same. Tried rebooting both - same. Tried rebooting laptop - same. The only thing to note was windows was pushing and update all day, and I wonder if that had some bearing. In the end I left out of frustration and will attack this again when I return. Question is should I expect to be changing the bridge? or is it likely the windows update? Or am I making a stupid mistake?

Thank you for your post, JCEnergy.

Following a Windows update, it is not uncommon for firewalls to be re-enabled. The same would be true after rebooting a Windows computer. We suggest ensuring all three profiles (Domain, Private and Public) are all temporarily disabled when performing transfers. Additionally, we recommend hardwiring to the network whenever possible as Wi-Fi connections are not entirely stable and may result in the same issue.

It's okay, it happens with Lutron Software. The programming software is abysmal at best.

I find that after 2 or 3 uploads I have to close and reopen the software.

Turning windows Firewall off in Windows 10 solved this problem for me. Don.t forget to turn it back on after Transfer
