Function Discovery Provider Host randomly stops
I have set up the 4 primary network related services as "Automatic - delayed start" on my local systems to get them networked properly. These services are (1) "Function Discovery Provider Host", (2) "Function Discovery Resource Publication", (3) "SSDP Discovery", and (4) "UPnP Device Host". I also have enabled "SMBv1Client" on them. It it has been working fine except for the new computer I just got. The "Function Discovery Provider Host" keeps stopping on this computer and I have no idea why. Although I can see shares on other computers from this new one, at times I cannot access the shares on the new computer from other computers. Once the FDPH service is running again, I then can access them. Another strange thing is even though the new computer is booted up after other computers, somehow it has become the "Master Browser". I don't know if that has any effect on the situation. Any ideas?
Thanks,
