This is a BIG BIG deal to me, I've actually stopped playing to research this issue further. None of my other programs do this. As you can see from the screenshots, Steam has been running in the background the whole time.

I'm getting what I deserved for not doing more research. At least its supporting SH5 I guess.

Q: Why does the Ubisoft Game Launcher stop me from disabling my network connection?

A: The Ubisoft Game Launcher does not stop you from disabling the network connection. However, Windows does not allow you to stop a network connection that has an open encrypted connection. This is a feature of Windows, not the Ubisoft Game Launcher.

Now that makes perfect sense.

True, this couldn't be a 'feature' invented by UBI, as the very same message showed up before and not in context of a game.

It'd still be interesting, though, whether UBI uses a standard protocol or not
