Bonjour error on Windows 11?

[PapaLazarou]

Some audio related programs seem to install Apple Bonjour (zero configuration networking service). Since installing Native Instruments Native Access, I am getting error message pop ups periodically, and every time the system starts that "This module is blocked from loading into the Local Security Authority" and references the file mdnsNSP.dll which is part of Bonjour. I am certain that Native Access installs Bonjour as part of its setup procedure, but I am not certain it's the only thing I have put on that installs it. The trouble seems to be that on Windows 11 25H2 the default security settings block outdated or untrusted modules from loading, and it puts Bonjour (version reported as 3.0.0.10) in that category.

Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue, and what you did about it? I can not find any update to Bonjour from Apple. I could just uninstall it, but would that prevent Native Access from working properly? Disabling LSA protection seems to be strongly discouraged from a security point of view also.

Thanks

I do not know, but Bonjour is already not working, so uninstall.
iTunes installs the crap Bonjour.
For me, Bonjour is a bloatware and a security risk.

What Native Access requires is the Microsoft Visual C++ Runtimes

BTW, some good Windows tweaks/stuff

Thank you for the information and apologies for the late reply. Yes, I guess as Bonjour is already blocked from loading by Windows, and Native Access appears to be working otherwise, removing it shouldn't hurt.
