    SSDP Discovery missing from Services.msc

    Hi Expert,

    Is there anyone could explain why the SSDP discovery service is missing from my WIN7 computer?

    I am trying to turn on the network discovery, but it sees didn't work, then I following the Microsoft KB suggestions to start the below services:

    • DNS Client
    • Function Discovery Resource Publication
    • SSDP Discovery
    • UPnP Device Host
    when I trying to start SSDP Discovery, I found the service is just missing from my computer, I got no idea about that.

    I checked in HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlset\Services\， no any key about the SSDP discovery service, then I export the KEY from one normal WIN7 PC, import to the one which got network discovery issue. But seems it's not working, I still cannot find the SSDP
    Discovery service in services.msc.

    I have google so many troubleshooting, none of them worked for me. Please suggest,thanks!

    Turn On or Off Network Discovery in Windows 10


    Thank you. Of the 4 things they mentioned, only Function Discovery Resource Publication was enabled. I enabled the last two, but the DNT Client is disabled & the dropdown box is greyed out. I'm not sure how to enable it.
    • DNS Client
    • Function Discovery Resource Publication
    • SSDP Discovery
