It took several days and watching a couple of Digital Man's videos to accomplish, nut it
looks like I finally got is running.
I am using two home computers to run each system: Mystic on one, SBBS on the other.
My goal is to eventually use a leased server for the new one, but I can't even get it
installed.
The server is running Windows Server 2022. I am missing some necessary .DLL files. I
have a request in to find a solution, so for now I am running it on a Windows 11 machine.
Anyway, it looks like all is working. Yay!

And now it's down. After some consideration, I decided to take that new system down.
Although I was able to get the feeds in, I couldn't get messages out. So thast system is
no longer.
Instead, I decided to lease another server and move my Mystic hub (mystic- hobbies.com) and end the contract for the other.
To me it was a good move. Although I do have to pay the $70/year fee, I don't have to
worry about the hub going down due to weather or Windows updates.
I am currently on a cruise ship with great wi-fi and feel comfortable about it running
smoothly.

I turned off windows updates via registry changes, I am on a windows 10 machine
so they claim there are no more updates for it anymore. We shall see. I disabled Cortana and removed edge from my windows 11 as well as deleting one drive and disabling any further updates until change the registry back. I suspect a lot of Microsoft snoopware in those updates and my machine runs faster with no problems for 6 months now. Good luck with the leased service.
