    Homegroup - How to delete?


    Before I upgraded all of our computers to W10 they were on W7 and we had a homegroup set up and working.

    For some reason none of the computers can connect to the homegroup anymore - I get the "you can join the workgroup" message and the box to enter the password. Guess what, I can't find the password anywhere *Redface

    Is there a way to remove the existing homegroup and start again?

    TIA *Smile

    :)

    HELP!! - Toshiba driver update for Toshiba Hotkey Driver - Error 0x800f0203

    I'm now running Windows 10 upgraded from Windows 7 & I have the same continuous problem with the update

    • Toshiba driver update for Toshiba Hotkey Driver - Error 0x800f0203

    I tried your Method 1 to fix it which said changes have been made to my computer & to try & update again which failed.. again & the same message above came up again. My laptop is secure as I run Norton 360, so what should I do next to try & fix this problem?
    My laptop is a Toshiba satellite L650.

    Thank you

    Can’t join or remove homegroup

    Hi Shady. I'm Greg, a volunteer installation specialist and 8 year Windows MVP, here to help you.

    You should be able to Leave the Homegroup in Homegroup Settings on all PC's, restart and then Create a Homegroup on the primary PC first. Copy the Password given, open the other PC's to enable Homegroup and join the Homegroup offered.

    If this exact procedure fails, please report back how.

    The message I have is (I) have created a homegroup on (this computer) and an invitation to join. However, my saved password doesn't work. The other computers don't belong to the homegroup. I've tried everything I've found, shutting off all computers, deleting files, etc. I still get the same message. One user suggested that if no one belongs to the homegroup, it will disappear, but on my computer, it persists.

    I'm wondering if there is a registry entry that should be removed.
