I recently got Forza Horizon 4 and had a lot of trouble with the multiplayer features. One day it would work, the other it wouldn't.

3 key peer services in local services will not start, blocking homegroup function

Hi Stephen,


Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand the inconvenience you are facing currently. let me help you in resolving the issue.

I suggest you to start the services for Peer Networking and check if it helps.

Three particular Windows services manage peer-to-peer networking, and all computers in you are trying to connect should have the same settings in order to reduce error messages and connection problems.

Step 1: Stop the services.

• Press Windows Key + R on the keyboard and type
  services.msc, Services window gets opened.
• Search for Peer Name Resolution Protocol service, right click on it and click on
  Stop.
• Do the same for Peer Networking Group
  and Peer Networking Identity Manager.
• Restart the computer.

Step 2: Start the service and set it to automatic:

• Press Windows Key + R on the keyboard and type
  services.msc, Services window gets opened.
• Search for Peer Name Resolution Protocol
  service, right click on it and click on
  Properties.
• Do the same for Peer Networking Group
  and Peer Networking Identity Manager.
• Start the service, set
  Startup type to Automatic.

I would also suggest you to refer to these below Microsoft articles and check, if it works.
