    can't connect to the homegroup


    Hello!
    At home we have 4 PCs, I used to share file using homegroups without any issues.
    just three days ago, I had to reinstall the windows on an HP Mini, and after that it couldn't connect to the homegroup, instead it says Create a homegroup.
    I have tried:
    -to clean the files in Peernetworking... from all computer, then turned the main one and after that creating a homegroup turning the others, they all detected the homegroup to join, except one.
    -I have also ran the troubleshooter.
    -I made sure that it's connected to a private not public network.

    thanks in advance.

    :)

    After the Windows 10 Creator update I can't connect, delete or create a new homegroup, how can I fix this?

    After the recent Windows 10 creators update I can't set up or connect to the homegroup. I can't removed the existing homegroup and I can't create a new one. Even the couple of PC's connected to my network that didn't get the update can't connect to the homegroup
    now.

    When I try and use the password that use to work I keep getting a message that the Homegroup is not found. I've tried several fixes and utilities that have been suggested and none of these have worked for me. Does anyone know how to get past this issue
    with a fix that will actually work?

    Unable to exit from/join to the HomeGroup.

    Original title: Homegroup

    I can't join or leave my existing homegroup.

    I can't delete the existing homegroup. It tells me that the user I'm using is the administrator, but it won't let me get to the homegroup to either show the password of the existing homegroup or to delete it.

    I tripple checked every computer that is showing on my network list as connected, but neither of the computers is on the homegroup.

    HOW can I get rid of the existing homegroup? Or make it possible for my computers to join that homegroup?

    Between the two connected laptops to the homegroup and the one that has the issue, there are two differences as listed in the two pictures below, the absence of the following:
