Live view timeout on Windows 10
troubleshooting

Live view has been fine previously and I can live with 10 minute timeout but recently it is down to a matter of seconds. All internet connection well within spec. Anyone know how can I get this back on Windows 10 PC?

    You can add me to the list of Ring users with a Windows 10 Live View issue. My Ring Camera Pro used to timeout at around 10 minutes, now it times out at 30 seconds. I don't see any timeout problems with my Android phone. If I delete and re-install the Windows 10 app, the problem goes away but just for a couple of live views. After that, it's back to 30 seconds. I have done this delete/install 3x and the outcome is the same. I have rebooted the Ring Doorbell by pushing the button on the side and I even tried connecting to the second network connection (2.4/5.0) on my WIFI router, no luck. Any suggestions?

      Someone else struggling with Windows 10 timeouts. Every 30 seconds is ridiculous. Why have they not fixed this yet?

        I have this same issue. However, when I called about a previous problem, I was told that the Windows 10 app is going to be decommissioned. It's really frustrating to be told this as it's the way I access my cameras the most often. I shouldn't have to reach for my phone every time I want a live feed... At the minimum, it needs to have the ability in the browser, but the windows 10 app is much nicer. I suspect this 30-second issue is related to them decommissioning the app.

          This sounds familiar (see link below). Question is if it is only happening with Ring **Indoor cameras** on the Windows 10 PC App? My Ring Video Doorbell 2 and all my 5 Ring Stick up Plug in Cameras go for the correct full 10-minute duration. Only all 4 of my Ring Indoor Cams last 40-seconds in Li

          UPDATE: I completely Uninstalled the Ring App for Windows PC. Then re-installed the Windows PC app. Now all Ring cameras and Doorbell are displaying the full normal 10-minute duration in "Live-View." I don't know what caused the issue, or if the Uninstall and Reinstall procedure will solve the sh

          Hello @thomasgould , @mrbill57 , @MartinWheat , and @brianburesh , As I wrote above, I tried Uninstalling and then Re-Installing the Windows Ring App, which worked for me for only 6 days. Then the 40-second timeout issue returned. In another posted thread, I tried the "reset" suggestion of @dvd67

          Still working? I have tried all suggestions and problem persists. Ring truly does not care.

        Having RING devices is fast becoming a waste of money
