ReadyCLOUD Windows Desktop app not working after Windows update

Windows 10 Enterprise to the latest feature release (version 2004 build 19041.264) and since then the ReadyCLOUD desktop app has stopped working. Did a recovery to OS version 1909 build 18363.836 and ReadyCloud app started working. Having ReadyCloud working is important for me because I am working on files on the NAS from home. Please inform via reply when a compatible version of ReadyCloud works with OS version 2004 build 19041.264. Thank you.
Hi daphome58 I would echo your request to Netgear that we are informed as soon as a fix is available
You all might also want to look into other VPN solutions to provide remote access to the NAS.
Hi StephenB would a third party VPN integrate with the ReadyCLOUD app, or are you talking about setting up a VPN to the device outside of the ReadyCLOUD environment?

The latter.
For instance, if the edge router supports openVPN, you could use that to gain remote access to the local network. Then just use file explorer to access the NAS.
One could also forward ftps ports to the NAS, and use FileZilla to on the remote devices to access the NAS with secure FTP.
ReadyCloud is a best-effort service, and over the years there have been quite a few reports of performance issues and outages here. Personally I don't use it - but if I did, I would want an alternative method of reaching the NAS.
