    Blue Iris won't load after Windows 11 update March 2026 - avnetsdk err 126

    Well I would say that it's time to email support if you have a current support contract, need to use the info in "Settings", "Get Support" or your email will not get past their spam filters!

    Blue Iris won't load after Windows 11 update March 2026 - avnetsdk err 126

    Well, It is strange because the only place that the avnetsdk.dll exists on both of my BI system is in the location C:\Program Files (x86)\ConfigTool\ConfigTool, if you set up your Dahua cameras did you not use the Dahua ConfigTool. perhaps you could try installing it on your BI PC to see if it...

    Was looking into mini computer for a new Blue iris build. Thoughts on this

    If you just are going to monitor two cameras , why not just use a web browser to view the cameras directly, unless you have already purchased the BI software!

    Blue Iris won't load after Windows 11 update March 2026 - avnetsdk err 126

    I did a quick search of the internet and there is some indication that avnetsdk.dll may be part of some software from Dahua, do you have some software called Patriot on your computer by any chance I also found a reference to that file in this thread I did find the file on my BI 6 system in a...

    Optimal camera BI setting

    Most people are only running cameras at 15FPS, more than enough for security cameras, your choice! If this is for the REOLINK, then @wittaj probably can assist better as I have no REOLINK camera experience!

    Optimal camera BI setting

    Make sure the cameras are set to H264, FPS 15, I-Frame 15, CBR! I don't have any REO link cameras, but it is my understanding that they do no perform very well at night with motion! All cameras that are capable of using sub-stream have them turned on, that will really help your CPU load! Perhaps...

    View More Log by Default?

    To the best of my knowledge there is nothing in BI that would give you that ability, you would have to create some sort of script to parse the existing log files, way beyond me current knowledge level, and I have no motivation to start to learn at my age!

    UI3 shows wrong dates

    Yes it would be relatively easy to accidentally click on the green shield and turn off BI inadvertently, it is the green shield icon in the clip below

    Can I move Alerts from C: to V: without losing data?

    It should work, just change the location of the Alerts file to the other drive, stop BI and the BI service, copy all the alerts to the new location, start BI and do a Repair DB and you should be good to go. once it is all working you can go back and delete the old Alerts folder

    89% CPU 500+GB mem in use

    I am not sure if recreating any of your cameras will have any effect, but you can try by disabling each camera 1 at a time to see if the problem goes away or disable all of the cameras and see if the problem is gone, then re-enable the cameras 1 at a time to see if a particular camera is...

    New IP bans issue

    OK sorry I thought it might work, I do not have this issue as I use a VPN; so all connections appear as local, does clearing the "Ban-user-agents" have any effect (safe a copy of the list in case you want to put them back)

    New IP bans issue

    Have you tried to set "auto-ban IP after attempts" to "zero" that will probably disable auto-bans, at least according to https://apps.abacus.ai/chatllm/?appId=14d05f7172&hideTopBar=2

    Latest highly-stable update, any chance this can mean something?

    Some thoughts as I have no idea of the specs for you computer or your internet speed! I have three systems all of them have relatively low camera counts compared to your commercial customers, my biggest has 18 cameras, it is running on an AMD Based computer and has CPU utilizations under 10, so...

    89% CPU 500+GB mem in use

    No it is a thing with BI, camera config sometimes get corrupted somehow, hopefully recreating it will fix it!

    Purchasing Blue Iris

    My only thought would be would you prefer that that more of the profit go directly to the developer or not, your choice dependent on how tight your finances are!

    Are there any Blue Iris (version 6) tutorial videos out there?

    You could try reading the BI help that can be found at the ? in the BI main windows, it explains just about everything in BI 6. There is also a BI AI chatbot that does a good job of answering basic questions https://apps.abacus.ai/chatllm/?appId=14d05f7172&hideTopBar=2

    Version 6

    Have you checked to make sure that the old V5 service is not running instead of the V6 service, and just to confirm that you are actually opening the V6 BI instance, since the V5 instance is still on the computer unless you have uninstalled it. Worth checking to make sure since, your log file is...
