Connectify stops internet connection after some time

Question

I am running Connectify on Windows 10 and am sharing my Ethernet connection's internet to an Android phone and a Macbook Pro. Both devices connect flawlessly to the network and also can access the internet through it, but the internet connection stops after a random time period. The wifi connection is still up, but it returns a "no connection" error until it is disconnected and reconnected. This time period varies from a few seconds to a few hours. The Connectify tray icon then shows no connected devices (blue). The wifi adapters power settings are set to not switch off or sleep. I am not quite sure, but I think on Windows 7, it worked and didnt stop the connection. What might the problem be and how can I solve it?

Had the same problem but this article helped me.

If you are planning on upgrading to Windows 10 from an earlier version of Windows, please uninstall Connectify prior to upgrading to Windows 10 to avoid a rare bug in the Windows 10 upgrade process.

If you have already updated to Windows 10 from an earlier version of Windows with Connectify installed, the Windows upgrade will have disabled some services Connectify depends on. The easiest way to restart these services is to simply uninstall Connectify and reinstall the latest version of Connectify.

A small percentage of Windows 10 users are reporting issues with the driver during installation. This is most often related to Kaspersky 2015 blocking Connectify's driver from being installed. You need to either upgrade to Kaspersky 2016, uninstall Kaspersky 2015, or disable Self-Defense in Kaspersky 2015. Kaspersky 2015 blocks Connectify's driver install on Windows 10 even when Kaspersky 2015 is disabled.
