In new windows version 1809 (Build 17763.55), when i ping a name of local network computer sometimes it adds a .local to the end of the name.
Image:
Because of this some programs display error message that XRS.local doesn't exist in local network, but XRS does.
Is there a way to turn off .local suffix at the end of computer name ? or is this a new 1809 bug ?
This does not happen in Windows 10 1607. 1607 never displays .local in ipv6 SMB names.
If i turn on only IPV4 .local never appears, same happens if i disable multicast DNS, .local never appears only full name of PC.
Same happens with Windows Server 2019 version 1809 (Build 17763.55), it always adds .local to the end of computer name.
How to reproduce:
1. Install Windows 10 1809 or Windows Server 2019 trial on PC1
2. Install Windows 10 1809 or Windows Server 2019 trial on PC2
3. Connect 2 PC's via switch / or via virtual network / virtualbox
4. Ping PC2 from PC1 or tracert PC2 from PC1
5. PC2 will have it's name changed to PC2.local

This is likely coming from mDNS. Do you have an mDNS responder installed ( like Apple's Bonjour?)

I have the same issue as well. Disabled Apple Bonjour service and it seems to work again. But I'm not entirely sure it's related, because I re-enabled the service and it is still working for me.
