''GHOST'' homegroup removal from start up

Hi Russel,

Utilizing a HomeGroup makes things easier to share. Since you're not using the HomeGroup feature, we suggest that you disable it instead to have your Microsoft Account be the default sign-in on Startup. Follow the steps listed below to disable
HomeGroup:

Step 1: Leave the HomeGroup. (This only applies if your PC is currently part of a HomeGroup. If your PC is not part of any group then proceed to Step 2.)

• Type HomeGroup in the Search bar and press
  Enter.
• Under Other homegroup actions click on the Leave the homegroup option.
• On the Leave the Homegroup window, confirm that you want to leave by clicking Leave the homegroup.
• Click the Finish button when the wizard finishes removing you from the HomeGroup.

Step 2: Disable HomeGroup Services

You'll need to disable two HomeGroup services to disable the HomeGroup feature in Windows.

• Type Services in the Search bar and press Enter.
  
• Scroll down on the list and look for HomeGroup Listener and
  HomeGroup Provider services. Double-click the HomeGroup Listener service to open its properties window.
  
• In the Properties window, select Disabled from the
  Startup type drop-down menu and then click OK.
• Do the same procedure for the HomeGroup Provider services.
