Windows 10: Super Confused about UPnP on Windows

I understand what UPnP is and how it's convenient for gaming, but also serves as a security riskmy confusion comes from the fact that there are options to enable and disable UPnP in both Windows settings AND my router's settingsmy router has UPnP IGD disabled, and I've also turned Network Discovery off in the Control Panel of my devices. since Network Discovery is just UPnP, does it actually matter if I enable it, if UPnP is disabled in my router settings?what happens if I enable Network Discovery but keep UPnP disabled in the router settings? and vice versa, what happens if I enable UPnP in m

Teredo and UPnP on Windows 10

Hi,

If you encounter issues wherein the Xbox app server connectivity is blocked even if your
Network address translation (NAT) type is open, this may be due to one of the following reasons:

• The Windows Firewall is disabled.
• A security software installed on your device has altered the Windows Firewall configuration.
• A required service has been disabled or stopped.

We suggest enabling the Windows Firewall. Here are the steps:

• Enter Windows Firewall in the search field on your toolbar (Cortana).
• Select Windows Firewall from the search results.
• On the left side of the window, select Turn Windows Firewall on or off.
• If Turn off Windows Firewall is selected for your network type (public, private, or domain), select
  Turn on Windows Firewall, and then select OK.
• Restart your device so that the changes can take effect.

UPnP is not a requirement for Teredo to work. However, we recommend that the
UPnP settings is on. The best team to get an in-depth explanation regarding this is your
Internet service provider.

Keep us posted with the progress. We'd be glad to provide you additional assistance.

 

upnp on e75

I am unable to find UPNP (Home Media) capabilities on my new Nokia E75 Smartphone, even though the specs list this as a feature. There is a listing in Help, but the option isn't available. Anyone have some info for me? Thanks.

 

UPnP stopped working?

Today when I tried to access my NAS disk it no longer works.

l always just activated network sharing and then my NAS showed up under network places.

Now there nothing. I'm running W10 CU, but I have two other computer on W10 CU and UPnP works fine.

Any suggestions as to why this could've fallen out? I had this one time where I wasn't fast enough to connect the power cord when the battery died, could that really mess up UPnP?
