Hello,
Thank you for your question.
Legacy OS 2000,2003, XP were required to open ICMP ports for "Slow network detection"
Vsta, Windows 2008, Win 7, and Windows 2008 no longer rely on ICMP.
Instead they use NLA (Network Location Awareness)
Please have a look on below Microsoft article and Thread discussing the same.
