Thank you for posting that in Microsoft Community. I understand your concern and I’ll be glad to assist you.

I would suggest you to disable the Kaspersky Internet Security and use Windows Defender and check if the issue persist.

You may try to run the Home group troubleshooter and check if it helps.

• 
  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).

  Click on Next and follow onscreen instruction complete the
  Home group troubleshooter.
  

Did you create this HomeGroup? If yes, you can go to Control panel and then click on the "Home group". In the bottom of the Window, look for an option "
Other HomeGroup options" and click on the option "view or print the HomeGroup password". Try to reset the password if the issue is with the password.

For issues with file explorer, right click on the Task Bar and select Task manager.

Find Explorer.exe and select end task.

Perform an SFC (System File Checker) scan on your system for any corrupted file settings.

• Press Windows + X on your keyboard.
• Select Command prompt admin.
• At the command prompt type “sfc /scannow” (no quotes), and then press ENTER.

Also ensure that all Windows updates are downloaded and installed. Restart PC if necessary.

Hope this helps. Get back to us with the results. We are happy to help.
