  1. "This PC > Downloads" Always returns to grouped.


    Every time I change my Downloads folder to group by none, it ALWAYS gets reset when I refresh the folder or some back to it. This only specifically happens when it shows up in the address bar as "This PC > Downloads", and not when it shows up as "C:\Users\USERNAME\Downloads". Can anyone help me fix this so that I can turn it back to the normal folder style?

    regarding windows 10 home group options

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community. Let me assist you.

    These may be the below possible reasons of you facing the issue. Please go through the points.

    • If a Home group already exists on your network, you'll be asked to join it instead of creating a new one.
    • If your PC belongs to a domain, you can join a home group but you can't create one. You can get to libraries and devices on other home group PCs, but you can't share your own libraries and devices with the home group.
    If both the above scenarios doesn’t imply, then I would suggest you try the below steps.

    Steps:


    • Switch to an Administrator user account, in case you are not using one.

    • Run a Home group Troubleshooter to fix the issue.
    Refer the below steps to run a Home group Troubleshooter.


    • Press Windows + X keys on the keyboard and select
      Control Panel

    • Type Troubleshooting in the search bar on the
      Control Panel.

    • Click on View all on the left navigation pane. Click on

    • Click on Advanced on the Home group troubleshooter dialog box and click on
      Run as administrator (Enter the credentials if required).

    "This PC > Downloads" Always returns to grouped.

    Old printer installation gives Status:Error

    Denis - I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean by: " I suggest you click on your Start menu's HP group..."

    However, I carried out your steps 2 and 3 and removed the printer then restarted the PC and the printer returned so nothing achieved. Could you please elaborate on step 1, thanks.
