title: WiFi-Direct P2P Service Discovery with Windows 10 and Android - possible?
body: <p>I'm writing a mobile app that will be a remote control for a PC application. What I want to do is couple them using WiFi Direct. </p>
  
  <p>I read about the P2P Service Discovery feature, that allows me to look only straight for devices running a certain service (and not for all of the available WiFi Direct devices). </p>
  
  <p>On the Android side I implemented it using these tips: <a href="https://developer.android.com/training/connect-devices-wirelessly/nsd-wifi-direct.html" rel="noreferrer">https://developer.android.com/training/connect-devices-wirelessly/nsd-wifi-direct.html</a></p>
  
  <p>On the Windows side I'm running this app: <a href="https://github.com/Microsoft/Windows-universal-samples/tree/master/Samples/WiFiDirectServices" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/Microsoft/Windows-universal-samples/tree/master/Samples/WiFiDirectServices</a> 
  Unfortunately in case of the PC side, I'm not even able to start advertising my service - the Advertisement Status is automatically set to 'Aborted' just after trying to launch it.</p>
  
  <p>1) Is that at all possible to couple a Windows application with the WiFi P2P NSD feature provided by Android devices? (asking if I should waste my time)</p>
  
  <p>2) Is that possible for a Windows PC to support P2P Service Discovery? <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30999336/wifi-direct-in-windows-10-says-unsupportedhardware-althought-it-should-be-supp">Here</a> the issue of system capabilities is discussed; in case of my PC WiFi Direct is supported, and none of P2P Discovery features are. Is there any way to make it support it, either hardware or software?</p>
