Disable SSDP traffic within Google Chrome

By default, Google Chrome sends SSDP network broadcast traffic on the local subnet.

M-SEARCH * HTTP/1.1
HOST: 239.255.255.250:1900
MAN: "ssdp:discover"
MX: 1
ST: urn:dial-multiscreen-org:service:dial:1
USER-AGENT: Google Chrome/65.0.3325.162 Windows

To disable the media router feature, launch Chrome and enter chrome://flags/

Search for “media router” and disable the feature.

  1. For me I had to disable this. SSDP traffic continued after disabling the setting above.

  2. Yeah, the SSDP traffic continues for me as well?

    How do I stop Chrome from doing SSDP M-SEARCH?

  3. Make *.reg file with the following content, and apply it. Log out and Log in.

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Google\Chrome]
    "EnableMediaRouter"=dword:0x00000001
