What is the current state of mDNS on Windows?

Question

It used to be that Windows would only resolve multicast DNS addresses (say, example.local) if iTunes was installed. Is that still true or has that changed in recent Windows versions? (I gave up on Windows years ago and so I cannot check easily myself.)

Answer 1

DNS-SD and mDNS are available in a new extension to Windows.Devices.Enumeration in Windows 10.

(Side note to these slides: The watcher.Updated event handler should be set in order for watcher.Added to trigger.)
