ENABLE OR DISABLE NETWORK DISCOVERY OR SHARING IN WINDOWS 11/10


Download Windows Speedup Tool to fix errors and make PC run faster

Network Discovery in the Windows operating system is a network setting, using
which you can set whether other computers on the network can see your Windows
10/8/7 computer or whether your computer can find other computers and devices on
the network. If Network Discovery is enabled, sharing files and printers over a
network becomes easier.

If you remember, when you first connected to any network on your Windows PC, you
would have been asked if it was a Private, Public or a Domain base network.


ENABLE OR DISABLE NETWORK DISCOVERY

If you are using a standalone PC you may want to disable Network Discovery as
you will have no use for it. You can turn off Network Discovery using Settings
in Windows 11/10, or via the Control Panel or Comand Prompt ins Windows
11/10/8/7. Let us see how to do it.


1] VIA WINDOWS SETTINGS

WINDOWS 11



The Private network profile will make your computer discoverable. Therefore, we
are going to see how to change it to Public.

 1. Open Settings by Win + I.
 2. Go to Network & Internet.
 3. Select the network you are connected to.
 4. Now, choose Public from the Network profile type.

This will make your computer not discoverable. If you want to make it
discoverable, you can select Public from the same settings panel.

WINDOWS 10

Click on the Start button and open Setting and select Network & Internet and
then Dial-Up (or Ethernet).



Select the network and then click on Advanced options. From the panel which
opens, turn the slider to the Off position for the Make this PC discoverable
setting.





To enable it again, simply move the slider back to the On position.

It is the same for WiFi Networks. Open Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi >
Manage known networks > Select a WiFi network > Properties > Turn slider to the
Off position the Make this PC discoverable setting.

In the case of an Ethernet connection, you have to click on the Adapter and then
toggle the Make this PC discoverable switch.


2] USING CONTROL PANEL

Open Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Network and Sharing Center >
Advanced sharing settings.



Uncheck the Turn on Network Discovery checkbox for Private as well as
Public/Guest profiles.

Save the changes and exit.


3] USING CMD

To turn off Network Discovery run the following command in an elevated command
prompt:

netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="Network Discovery" new enable=No

To turn on Network Discovery run the following command in an elevated command
prompt:

netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="Network Discovery" new enable=Yes

In this way, you can enable or disable Network Discovery.




CANNOT TURN ON NETWORK DISCOVERY

If you cannot turn on Network Discovery you may want to Run services.msc to open
Services Manager and check if the following services are started and set to
Automatic.

 1. DNS Client
 2. Function Discovery Resource Publication
 3. SSDP Discovery
 4. UPnP Device Host


MAKE THIS PC DISCOVERABLE SWITCH MISSING

If you find that the Make This PC Discoverable switch is missing, then open User
Account Control settings, switch UAC to Default, click OK, restart your computer
and see.


WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN NETWORK DISCOVERY IS TURNED OFF?

When you turn off Network Discovery, no other computer on that network will be
able to discover your computer. This setting is usually recommended for privacy
and security, but if you are an admin of an organization and want to monitor
client computers, then you can enable this option in Windows with the help of
the given methods, to make the computer discoverable.

Hope this helps.
