After disabling my Windows Defender Firewall my high score uploads started working.  Then I re-enabled my firewall and expected it to fail (which would require me to add a rule explicitly allowing the BigBox program access to the Internet), but much to my surprise my uploads continued working.  I.e. all I did to fix my issue was to toggle my Windows Defender off then on again without making any other changes.

Only a week after implementing this I had an impressive Pooyan score that failed to upload!  😢  This time I whitelisted BigBox in Windows Firewall by following these steps:

  1. Search the start menu for "Allow an app through Windows Firewall"
  2. Click the "Change settings" button followed by the "Allow another app" button
  3. Browse to BigBox.exe
  4. For thew newly added "BigBox Launcher" app check (enable) both the "Private" and "Public" network boxes
  5. Click the "OK" button to exit the firewall settings windows

Now my my high scores are uploading again.  Hopefully it stays fixed this time.
