Asus RT-AX88U-Pro Login page hangs in Windows 10

[RandomUser777]

Strange thing started happening a while ago, so I can't easily pinpoint the cause.

Occasionally- randomly - when I attempt to login to the router homepage in Windows 10, using Brave, Chrome, Firefox, or Edge, the page hangs - sometimes not rendering at all, sometimes partially.

If I reboot into Linux, I can access it no problem. Back into Windows, hangs.

Before anyone asks, yes I logout of the router gui (and even if I didn't, I should get the another user logged in warning, which I don't).

By chance, which I have been able to repeat for the last few weeks, when in windows and experiencing the login hang, if I execute these commands :

nvram set login_ip=
nvram set login_ip_str=
nvram set login_timestamp=
nvram commit
service restart_httpd

I can login normally. Everytime that this happens in Windows, this fixes it.

This does not happen in Linux. It does not always happen in Windows.

Any thoughts?

Mine hang a few times but not as often now. Probably happened 2 or 3 times.

service restart_httpd

normally fixed it.

I own the exact same router. Latest Merlin firmware. I've never experienced that issue. Love to know the difference between our systems. Firefox browser on Windows 11 Home (latest updates).

What I am trying to figure out is why this happens in Windows, but not Linux.

When it hangs in Windows, I can immediately reboot into Linux and the GUI responds fine. I reboot into Windows, and the GUI still hangs until I issue those commands.

I had a similar issue a while back caused by my antivirus software. For some weird reason it did not like some of the code. Opened an ticket with the AV developer which eventually resolved with a patch.
