Default SH5 ubisoft connect problem

hi I have win 7 running and have been enjoying SH5 Wolves of steel for quite some time until today when I discovered UbiSoft Connect no longer works with win 7. Before realising this I tried reinstalling assuming it was a problem with SH5 not Ubisoft Connect. After making a mess of things I'm now looking at having to do a clean install of both UbiSoft Connect and SH5. Can anybody advise if there is a work around or fix of some type, I really dont want to have to update to win 10.
Thanks in advance for any replies,
Sink em all

Icon5 Welcome back!

Stew U-582! I see the infamous seven-year-itch and defunct Ubi support have ended your 'silent run' since 2015?!

I actually just had this same issue. In the Ubi Connect folder where the upc exe is should be a backup file called upcold.exe or something. Make that the new upc.exe, and save it in case of future Ubisoft updates.

Hm, that didn't work for me since I reinstalled my uplay connect completely...It seems that I can not run UConnect on my PC at all, win 7 also here. I've tried also with older versions of the program.

It's perfectly logical Windows 7 hasn't had a security package for a long time... so no Uplay... install 10 be up to date otherwise it's dead... uais:
