I am looking for a way to resolve.local addresses in Windows 10. Windows itself also includes mDNS support, but that appears to only be available for Modern API applications. In the past, the advice has always been to install Apple's Bonjour, for instance How to enable mDNS on Windows (7). Unfortunately, that seems to no longer be working.

Learn three different ways to multitask and use multiple desktops in Windows 10. Select the Task View button, or press Alt-Tab on your keyboard to see or switch between apps. To use two or more apps at a time, grab the top of an app window and drag it to the side. IP multicast is a process that transmits information from a source to multiple destinations with one data stream, rather than with multiple streams. Multicast can greatly reduce the network traffic that bandwidth-hungry applications such as videoconferencing, software distribution, and Webcast create. Network can be set discoverable in different ways for wire (Ethernet menu) and for WiFi (WiFi menu). By default Windows 10 connects to new network as public connection with discovery option disabled.

As far as I can tell, the problem is that one of Windows' own processes, DNSCache, is now listening on port 5353.
How do I get mDNS to work for non-Modern applications?

I ended up finding the answer minutes after posting my question.
The solution is to first disable mDNS in Windows. This has to be done in the registry. As usual, the standard warning applies: editing the registry is not for the faint of heart, and doing it incorrectly can damage your Windows installation beyond repair.
Navigate to the registry key ComputerHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindows NTDNSClient. If the key does not exist, you may need to create it.
Then add the value EnableMulticast as a REG_DWORD, with the value 0.
Reboot.

Then install Bonjour. After this hack, mDNS works as expected.
