It’s on by default with Win10 at least.

I disable it on all machines I build. And use GP to ensure it stays disabled.

There’s just no need for it on small networks. Just another thing running that can go wrong (as it did here).

It also contributes to increased troubleshooting when networking is acting funny, because now you have 2 stacks to consider.
