Could you please give me a hint how to obtain it? I found only full Windows 3.1 SDK, but it doesn't seem to have VfW. Thanks, I took a look. But alas, it’s not there either (or it’s just me that didn’t dig too thoroughly).

Great, I'm going to find my USB Floppy and SD Cards reader, then I should probably reproduce it my main machine. I will probably just suppress that error, because issue is caused by something else - Not used drives are mounted, but doesnt contains real disk physically connected IOCTL_DISK_GET_DRIVE_LAYOUT_EX, thats probably due that mechanism, because they are another part of HW where you connect another one too. Will see what can I do. I will check also mentioned SSE if it's possible.

I think you must exclude volumes with a size of 0. Regards

Thorium on 32-bit mobile single core. A bit misleading, feels slower.

Predictable, playing with local sharks is dangerous, and not surprising, considering the fact you lost to @D.Draker.

Yes, I can confirm that the disk 1 is the Ricoh SD/MMC Disk Device: ID of the Ricoh SD/MMC Host Controller : PCI\VEN_1180&DEV_0843&SUBSYS_1521103C&REV_14\4&3A88E1E&0&32F0 Regards

Supermium testing versions on github are free to use. https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/releases Those that are on patreon are paid. Promised better support and updates. I don't know which exactly are used by that guy.

Disallow UDP connections. It doesn't need them. Lookups can be done via https. Precise explanations. https://www.digitalcitizen.life/dns-over-https-secure-dns-lookups/

There's nothing remotely malicious/harmful about those packets, simply normal Chrome behavior. For Chromecast, i guess, maybe other stuff. No need to add any firewall rules, it's not a routable address.

Usually, I do not use any Chrome or Chromium browsers under Windows XP. My daily drivers under Windows XP are New Moon 28, Mypal 68 and Serpent 52. And there is no such behaviour.

Literally how device discovery (SSDP) works -- on Windows, on Linux, on Android; On Chrome, on Chromium, on Firefox. What's in any way noteworthy about Thorium behaving exactly like Chromium?

FWIW Alex tells me that uBlock Origin is bundled with Thorium. 🙂

As I already mentioned in my Antimalware thread, Windows 10 Firewall Control is great and is doing a perfect job in controlling all system and application connections like, for example, Thorium.

I was going to suggest that one also but it's not in v114 and I cannot access Thorium or Supermium at work. Yep! This one did the trick. No more entries in my firewall log. I just found this by accident, and its description made me prick up my ears:

Thorium is apparently looking for Google Chromecast devices.

Disable QUIC protocol for one. But some of the other multicast UDP connections may "require" an UNGOOGLED version of Thorium.

No. It is indeed Thorium trying to connect to this address. To be more precise it is the process thorium.exe. Disabling the flag #media-route-dial-provider seems to be the solution I found by checking all available Thorium flags.

DarkMagic 3.7.9 fixes

StartAllBack 3.7.9

No. It is indeed Thorium trying to connect to this address. To be more precise it is the process thorium.exe.

Thorium doesn't do it here, because I have UPnP service disabled. Why Thorium needs it, I don't know. (Google search) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Service_Discovery_Protocol https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/43299/why-is-vivaldi-connecting-to-239-255-255-250-port-1900-udp-ssdp-and-requires-it/3

Know next to nothing about this, but i think it's just Windows networking (not Thorium). Close Thorium & every every browser, start scanning -- should see 239.255.255.255 popping up. Or not. Is networking enabled on your box?

I ported recently somehow AMD Radeon HD 8750m driver to Windows Vista😄 Photo: https://ibb.co/BzrKYgt

Can anyone tell me why Thorium is trying to connect via UDP to the address 239.255.255.250 using the port 1900 almost every minute? My Windows 10 Firewall Control is blocking and logging this connection, fortunately.
