Hi, I am Nigel, Independent Advisor here to work with you on this issue. Enabling UPnP in Windows 7, 8, and 10 should only require the turning on of network discovery. To enable UPnP in these versions of Windows, follow the steps below.
Open the Control Panel. In the left pane, click the link for Change advanced sharing settings. In the Network Discovery section, select the option for Turn on network discovery and click the Save changes button. It may also be worth checking that your Network location is NOT set to Public as this can prevent local traffic working due to firewall restrictions.
Note that when enabled, XP's built-in Internet Connection Firewall ICF , and some third-party personal firewalls, are effective in blocking this external access. Can't anyone make an honest mistake? Of course. The last time Microsoft did this, the server was called "File and Printer Sharing". The insecurity of that decision has caused untold customer damage through the years and it still causes serious problems.
Yet every copy of Windows XP sold has it enabled and running by default. This goes to the heart of Microsoft's lack of understanding, or lack of honest concern, about security. An Observation about the nature of 'Security' A number of Microsoft spokesmen have publicly stated that Windows XP is the most secure operating system they have ever produced. The declaration itself is patently absurd. Microsoft can say that they hope Windows XP will be the most secure system they have ever made, or that they tried to make it secure.
But they have no basis for a statement that it is actually secure. That judgement may only be properly made by history. As reported by Ted Bridis writing for the Associated Press , Scott Culp, Microsoft's extremely busy security response manager, stated: "This is the first network-based, remote compromise that I'm aware of for Windows desktop systems.
All Windows UPnP machines will continue to run an open server advertising their presence across the Internet. How is UnPnP used? Nothing is installed or left running in your machine, and after its use you can freely delete the utility. Simply download this small 22k byte Windows application , then run it to display and optionally alter the current state of your system's UPnP services. Once this work has been done, everything is set and you no longer need this UnPnP utility.
You may wish to keep it around in the event that you need to re-enable your system's UPnP system someday, but you will always be able to grab a fresh copy from our web site.
