ESP8266 SSDP - Not showing on Windows?

Question

I've got the ESP8266SSDP library running on my NodeMCU, and have it configured like so:

SSDP.setSchemaURL("test.xml");
SSDP.setHTTPPort(80);
SSDP.setName("Addressable Strip");
SSDP.setSerialNumber("001788102201");
SSDP.setURL("index.html");
SSDP.setModelName("ESP8266");
SSDP.setModelNumber("929000226503");
SSDP.setModelURL("http://www.google.com");
SSDP.setManufacturer("Nobody");
SSDP.setManufacturerURL("http://www.google.com");
SSDP.setDeviceType("upnp:rootdevice");
if(SSDP.begin()){
  Serial.println("SSDP started");
}

The above will not show up in Windows for some reason, however I download SSDPTester for my phone and I can see the following when it is searching for devices

On your NodeMCU, be sure to send a NOTIFY message on startup and periodically in order for the Windows control point to detect and list the device.
