    Hello pmmp,
    I currently have a server which is not port forwarded for plugin testing purposes and I have a laptop and a PC (the server is running from the PC) I use minecraft on my laptop to test things however ever since the windows 10 updates I've been unable to join the LAN server from my laptop and I can only connect to it on my PC. on both my laptop and PC the server shows in the 'friends' tab but when I try and connect to it on my laptop it says 'unable to connect to world' I get nothing in the console.
    To clarify:
    - both devices are on the same wifi
    - server is running from my PC
    - can't connect on another device
    - I haven't changed any settings with my wifi, only updated windows 10 (sh*t windows10 is a pain)
    what do I do?! :eek:
    maybe should I see if using another wifi like a phone hotspot fixes things?

    You might try to execute this line with PowerShell

    Code:
    CheckNetIsolation LoopbackExempt -a -n="Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe"
    
    And, thanks to @robske_110 (Tim)

    Does that make it possible for me to connect to my local server that is running on the same machine?
