Yesterday I updated windows 11 with the July 2027 cummulative update package, then I updated BI to the latest version (running BI 6). After updating BI the server failed to start. Windows firewall blocked it thinking it was a "wacatac.h!ml" trojan. I told windows to allow BI regardless, and after that server worked again. Then this morning I noticed none of my alerts were checked with AI. The AI server was not starting now. I uninstalled and reinstalled CPAI 2.9.5 to get it working again. There was a hiccup getting it installed whereit would not complete, and the cpai server did not startup. I had to go into the programfiles/codeproject directories and execute the cpai server exe file, then it proceeded with normal installation. Now everything is back to working normally.

I'm using CPAI 2.9.5 on an intel i5-8xxx with a p400 gpu. Yolo v5 has worked perfectly well for me for long time, and all of the latest BI related AI stuff I've tried makes the PC choke. Hence my sticking with old school AI.

Anyhow I didn't see any mention of issues like this recently. I'm not sure if anyone else is running a similar setup, but thought I'd mention my troubleshooting steps in case it happens to someone else.
 
The latest update of BI (6.0.9.6) was not properly digitally signed when it was first released, just go to "setup", "Check for News and Updates, select "Install latest update available" and re-apply the update with the correct signature
