Last week I linked my HiSense Smart TV to my home LAN for Olympic access and PVR features. Usually I rely on an Apple TV, which acts mainly as a monitor. On Friday my computer began malfunctioning—blank taskbar, failed Display Settings, missing icons, etc.—making it nearly unusable. After several troubleshooting attempts, it became functional again, though some settings still didn’t work. Even reloading a week-old backup failed. The issue turned up last night on the TV itself, which also affected my Windows laptop. The first symptom was the fingerprint reader stopping. The root cause lies in the TV generating random UUIDs for UPNP network discovery periodically. This tricks Windows into treating it as a new device, adding it to the device list (Device Association Framework). As a result, thousands of devices—essentially the same one—filled the device tree, causing endless enumeration and the resulting deadlock. Here’s the detailed explanation and solution: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answer...aitchain-d

Additionally, there is an option in Windows to disable automatic configuration of newly discovered network devices. Use the registry editor, navigate to: HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\NcdAutoSetup\Private, click on AutoSetup, open it and set the Value to "0". Restart the system.
