UltimateSilence Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Hello,I have an odd question. What is the Microsoft Publication Service? This appeared on my Vista computer last night, when I tried to connect to a Windows 7 computer.I have successfully connected to the Windows 7 computer before, and this "Device Host" hasn't appeared.

UltimateSilence Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 (edited) Does this help?http://answers.micro...72-d65a7b7d0538Thank you, Andre.I've seen that link before, but it doesn't really answer my question... I don't know why the Service "randomly" appeared.EDIT: I turned the Function Discovery Resource Publication service off and that seems to have fixed the problem. The "device host" no longer appears in my network folder.I am surprised that there isn't more material on this.
