GS105Ev2 switch admin page automatically logout issue
OS: Win 11
I attempted to access the switch admin page using the provided Switch Discovery Tool for Windows. The tool successfully connected to the switch and the admin page, but whenever I clicked any button on the admin page, I was kicked out and had to log in again. This phenomenon only occurred on one computer (Win 11). When I tried to do the same using another computer(win10) which also connects to the switch, the admin page operated normally. I am not sure if this is caused by a virus or something else. Can you please help me find a solution?
I"ve seen chrome do odd things. Why I don't use it for any network device management processing. Especially FW updates.

Hi FURRYe38 , can u help?
I recently got a couple of GS108Ts in. Use same mangement SW. Though I also use Windows10. Haven't see this issue yet. I'll check Windows 11 soon.
Can you access the switchs web page directly using the IP address of the switch in a web browser?

Just checking Windows 11 here with MS Edge, it logs into the GS switch fine using it's IP address. I don't have the SW installed on this PC though.

The NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool (NSDT) does - when clicking on the [Admin Page] button - call the defined system default Web browser, and opens the LAN switch IP address.
I can also get to the switch web page directly with it's IP address with out the SW.
Base OS for the browser does unlikely cause any major issues with the simple Web UI.
Operating the switch on a current firmware version as available from https://www.netgear.com/support/product/gs105ev2#download ?
Any problems with running the ubiquitous Windows Update - Windows 11 and the browser are uo2date?
I don't expect the modern Microsoft Edge browser is cumbersome - to similar to the very reliable Chrome. Tried an alternate Web browser?
Please post a screenshot of the Switch Information page shown after the login.
Thx for your reply.
For your information, both window OS and switch's firmware are up to date. I can also access the admin page via Edge, as it is not the default browser, via direct IP. Following is the screen cap:
And you know what, it wroks fine on Edge: no more kicked-out from it when i press any of the buttons. Looks like it is an issue with my Chrome....interesting:
