Disable Universal Plug and Play Services in the Windows XP



Windows XP includes support for Universal Plug and Play (UnPnP) which allows UnPnP devices to be connected over a network. There are currently limited UnPnP devices available and due to a recent security flaw it may be advisable to disable these services.

Disable Universal Plug and Play Device Host

  • Open your registry editor
  • Navigate to : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\upnphost.
  • Set the value of “Start” to “4″ to disable the service, or “3″ to enable it.

Disable UnPnP Discovery Service

  • Open your registry editor
  • Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SSDPSRV.
  • Set the value of “Start” to “4″ to disable the service, or “3″ to enable it.
