Deep dives
Issues with Windows PC traced back to smart TV and random UUIDs
A Windows PC experienced performance problems and issues like task manager not opening due to a high-sense smart TV continuously generating randomized UUIDs on the network. This led to a large database of UUIDs on the PC causing performance degradation. The situation mirrored experiences with Android devices and MAC address randomization causing monitoring system issues with non-Android devices.
