In Windows 8, once you disabled and removed them from control panel, they no longer appeared. In Windows 10, they remain. I can't remove them from there.
Every user of my computer has a Media Device showing up, whether they have media sharing enabled or not.
For example:. My account is the only one that has streaming enabled. It's the only one that I want to show. Right clicking on these unwanted media devices only gives the options to open media player, create shortcut or properties. I'm out of ideas, outside of going through the registry. Obviously, it's not that serious.
Just curious as to why it worked on Windows 8. Open This PC , right click on any left one at a time , and click on Remove device again. Let me confirm that this will only remove them from your This PC window. If in case these media devices are still connected to your network, then they will always appear in your Networks folder since they have been detected.

However, as I mentioned in my initial post, I've already performed those steps. These devices show up even if I have media streaming disabled though the whole system. My problem is that when I open my xbox for example, every user on my PC is showing up as a media server. I don't want that. These aren't actual media devices, they're users on my system that Windows has created automatically, even though media streaming is not enabled.
Could it be something related to the uuid? For each user it is different. Maybe disabling that will help? Again, I don't understand why this even an issue, my Windows 8. This seems like a bug.

Just figured this out, but this is from memory so bear with me- instead of setting everything to block, click remove. The remove option wasn't available for one of the settings, but if you remove everyone except that one, it will turn media streaming off. Wednesday, August 26, PM. It was getting annoying.
Why isn't this a common-sense setting like it appears to be? Question Who Asked for this many steps to turn off media sharing? Who thought it would be a good idea to enable media sharing easily, but make it difficult and incomplete to disable media sharing? Thanks for this thread, though I guess a complete reinstall is the only way to avoid the problem of Blocking All media sharing when I just don't want to have one pc on my network be the media server.
On second thought, I am disabling it all and using Boxee I give up on Media Center--it has never worked right and it will never be worth using. Saturday, January 9, AM.

An added plus is that it doesn't require a Media Library to be built, which given the size of my library, takes more than 24 hours to build on a Q with 6GB RAM. Saturday, March 6, PM.
