    Function Discovery Provider Host Stops running


    Function Discovery Provider HostFunction Discovery Resource Publication

    Both or one not really sure seem to stop working after a period of time, requiring me to Manually Restart them
    This happen on two of my computer that run 24 - 7
    I'm working with 5 computer network MS Work Group. All units have Sharing and Security set to share to Authorized Users
    With the same Admin Local user account on all.

    How I notice this Is I will check my Network in explorer and see that Office or FrontDesk will not be visible there. So when this happens I'll go to that unit and manually restart both functions and then they will show up again and be available in Explorer.
    When I do this the functions show to be running usually, some times one or both will be stopped, but usually they still show they are running but the aren't until I restart them.

    This started a while back when MS advised up to stop using SMB 1, I never had this issue using SMB 1.

    This has been going on since back then I haven't seen a thread on this particular issue so I'm curious If I'm the only one or has this issue been previously discussed. I haven't really had time to sort it out.

    All my computers are running W 10 Pro 64 bit with one running W8.1 pro 64 bit

  2. Function Discovery Provider Host

    Function Discovery Provider Host----
    The FDPHOST service hosts the Function Discovery (FD) network discovery providers. These FD providers supply network discovery services for the Simple Services Discovery Protocol (SSDP) and Web Services – Discovery (WS-D) protocol. Stopping or disabling the FDPHOST service will disable network discovery for these protocols when using FD. When this service is unavailable, network services using FD and relying on these discovery protocols will be unable to find network devices or resources.

    Function Discovery Resource Publication ----
    Publishes this computer and resources attached to this computer so they can be discovered over the network. If this service is stopped, network resources will no longer be published and they will not be discovered by other computers on the network.

    Automatic means it will start as the computer is booting up. Delayed means it will wait until after the boot up is complete before it starts.

    Hope that helps.

    Function Discovery Provider Host randomly stops

    I have set up the 4 primary network related services as "Automatic - delayed start" on my local systems to get them networked properly. These services are (1) "Function Discovery Provider Host", (2) "Function Discovery Resource Publication", (3) "SSDP Discovery", and (4) "UPnP Device Host". I also have enabled "SMBv1Client" on them. It it has been working fine except for the new computer I just got. The "Function Discovery Provider Host" keeps stopping on this computer and I have no idea why. Although I can see shares on other computers from this new one, at times I cannot access the shares on the new computer from other computers. Once the FDPH service is running again, I then can access them. Another strange thing is even though the new computer is booted up after other computers, somehow it has become the "Master Browser". I don't know if that has any effect on the situation. Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    JohnD
