    Homegroup missing.....what now??


    Hi from UK


    Just updated to latest 1809 ver. and noticed Homegroup missing!

    (Last time I used it was ayear ago...I should add)


    I have 2 PCs at home...and wish to read/write/transfer data between them....with full permission to do as I wish!!


    What are my options now please?

    I do not use 'the cloud' and have no desire to do so at the moment.


    Thanks

    :)

    Phantom Homegroup appearing in Windows 10

    Hi Sanjiv,

    Upon reviewing your case we've seen that you were on the right track of resolving the case. We're just missing one more step which is disabling HomeGroup services after stopping it. We highly suggest that you re-stop HomeGroup services and
    make sure that you disable it before rebooting the computer.

    To disable HomeGroup services, you'll be needing to launch the Services tool and the steps on how to do so are listed below:

    • Click on Start or Windows key and type "services" in; then, choose
      Services. The Services windows should show up.
    • From there, look for the HomeGroup Provider service under
      Name
      .
    • Once found it, double-click on it and go to Properties.
    • From the Start type drop-down list under Properties, select
      Disabled.

    When you restart the computer and before creating a new HomeGroup, make sure that you have disjoined all the computer from HomeGroup in laptop A and B.

    Let us know what happens after following the suggestion.
