I installed a fresh new PC with w11 Pro.
And I installed my usual plugins and utilities.
But the InMusic Software Center, using Apple Bonjour, generates lot of popups :
”This module is blocked from loading into the Local Security Authority
\Device….\Bonjour\mdnsNSP.dll “
It appears that the protection on the LSA is activated on this new PC where it wasn’t on my older one.
I tried to uninstall Bonjour but InMusic Software Center stops working.
Unchecking the LSA Protection in setting is not recommanded by MS.
Apple should fix it but it is Apple and MS…
What have you done, kept the protection or removed it ?
I remember seeing this a fair bit early after having built my new Windows 11 PC. It wasn’t from the same product, as I didn’t install that, but I don’t recall what it was from. I initially did try some workarounds for the message that may have uninstalled the support library in question, but I think I ultimately had it come back, and, if I remember correctly, when it popped up again, I just checked the box that said not to display that message anymore. Haven’t seen it in months now.
I have the InMusic Software Centre installed here and I have never seen this message. I have not touched the Local Security Authority settings on my machine so it’s at the default, whatever that is.
Pace/iLok uses it, I know that much, because every time I install an update for iLok, Bonjour appears. I just uninstall it and delete all the leftovers manually.
Bonjour is part of any Dante related install, is used for many other network related drivers and software. It configures the network as needed if there is no dhcp and dns services are available.
It is an alternative to zeroconf on Mac and Win.
The Local Security Authority feature is relative new, it was introduced with Win11 25H2 and a later feature update. Or at least the warning is new.
I have lsa turned on, memory integrity turned off. I don’t remember why I set it that way, but that’s the way it is. uac is completely disabled as well (diff topic). To my knowledge there is nothing on my win 11 computers with the name bonjour (a system search doesn’t show anything….not even as part of my ilok acct/dongle…although I’ve heard the name over the centuries).
Thanks for this answer but I exactly did this and nowdays, there is no more the bonjour setup in the ziped file, Apple has replaced it but dozens of files and I found no way to to use it without polluing my w11 farther than it needs.
But I do not need iTunes.
But I need iLok and inMusic ( this last is not an absolute need but requested in case of update)
I must add that Copilot proposed to go in registry to fix it, but I don’t like to go and begin updating registry on a new PC (!!!)
The problematic provider is located here:
Code
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\OSConfig
The value to delete is usually:
“mDNSResponder” (or sometimes “Bonjour”)
And sometimes also in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
The offending value is in Security Packages or Notification Packages.
As we said:
Never delete the entire LSA key, only the entry added by Bonjour.
Verify that the other values are their defaults:
msv1_0, kerberos, tspkg, wdigest, scecli, cng, etc.
Clean and safe procedure
Open regedit.
Go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\OSConfig
Look for an entry related to Bonjour or mDNSResponder.
Delete only this entry.
Also check:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
Restart.
After that, the LSA pop-ups will disappear permanently.
Clean and safe procedure
