How Do You Stop Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service?
The Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service allows you to share your Windows Media Player playlists and library with other devices on your network. Windows users can use the service to set up a network in which one computer acts as a file and video server. If you have no use for this feature, you should disable the service to increase your system’s security and lower its resource usage. Click “Start” and type “services.msc” in the search bar. Press “Enter.” Scroll down to “WMPNetworkSvc.” Double-click it. Click the pull-down “Startup type” dialog box and select “Disabled.” Click “Stop” if the service status is “Started.” This will turn the service off immediately.
