Strange forms authentication

I have a ASP.NET app which uses forms authentication. .. This app is
currently on 2 different machines, my local "developmen t" machine, and a
"testing server".

This app works perfectly on the testing server on most computers, but on one
in particular, there is a problem. When the user "logs in" using Forms
Authentication, they are directed to a page within the site, then kicked
out. This same computer can successfully log onto my development computer.
This computer also has more secure firewall and virus scanning than the
others - any idea what the problem could be? It does not seem to be a cookie
issue.

thnx

Could be the Virus scanner.
It may affect files like web.config which causes re-starts of ASP.net.exe.
Try disabling it and see if it works.

Is it your computer name problem? try this:
Domains that use cookies must use only alphanumeric characters ("-" or ".")
in the domain name and the server name. Internet Explorer blocks cookies
from a server if the server name contains other characters, such as an
underscore character ("_").

I am using form authentication and InProc cookieless session. The strange thing is that when an authenticated user try to navigate to any page that is in subfolder of the application root, the session is restarted and new session id is generated. Thus the user would never be able to access those pages because each page's InitializeComponent() checks if (Session.Keys.Count == 0). If yes, then server transfer the request to login.aspx...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
