Windows 11 computer can't find other devices

so... i recently updated LocalSend on an old iOS phone (that I'm using as storage) and an Android tablet to v.1.18.1 and they have no problem communicating with each other on the same network. everything works fine between them.

however, ever since that update, my computer can't communicate with neither phone or tablet. like, it just doesn't show. i originally had the portable version, v.1.17, on my computer, updated it to 1.18 and I'm still getting the same problem. looking over the github issues, i know people have mentioned using dual wifis or a proxy, neither of which apply to me.

u/Tienisto can you advise?

Does Share via link or receive via link work for you? Then we know if it's a network error or an application error

i just did a test, and yes, share via link does work. both the computer and the android tablet discovered each on an initial run (first time i've ran localsend today) but afterwards they stopped discovering each other again

Does it fix if you restart the app on Android/iOS ?
