Windows 10: Multiple BRCM-DMS:2 under Devices and Printers

I can't find anything useful about this. I have 3 listings of just BRCM-DMS:2 all from Broadcom Corporation that are shown as Windows Media Player Compatible with the same model # 68778345001, no hardware listed, and UPnP listings of the same serial #'s, MAC and IP addresses, but different unique identifiers.

Another BRCM-DMS:2 from Microsoft is shown as Windows Media Player Sharing model # 12.0, hardware listed as a software device under my email and computer name, a different serial # than the others, no MAC address, and a different IP address and unique identifier than the others.

I know it has to do with file sharing. So, are the 3 Broadcom devices a security threat I need to remove? If so how? I saw another post saying they keep popping up again after right clicking to delete them.

Thanks for any help.

BRCM-DMS:3 is Back!

It is April 4, 2018 and after about a year, the BRCM-DMS:3 is back.

I ran SFC and then Check Health, Restore Health again.

No errors found.

I'm not sure what to do now.

I looked to place this issue under "Devices and Printers" but didn't see it listed, so I put it under "Devices and Drivers".

 

BRCM-DMS:2?

Hi,

BRCM-DMS:2 is a file-sharing functionality built into a video/ audio player.

This concern is more complex than what is typically answered in this forum. Since it is most likely that this is more of an engineering issue,it would
be best to redirect you to a dedicated team that may have an in-depth knowledge
about it. Please check
Microsoft Development Network Forum (MSDN).

Feel free to post back should you have further concern.
