Windows 10: HomeGroup - The link to "Allow all devices on this network..." is missing

I'm trying to set up a HomeGroup to stream media, but the link "Allow all devices on this network such as TVs and game console to play my shared content" is not there. How do I get it to show up? I'm on Windows 10 version 1709.

The "Allow all devices on this network such as TVs and game consoles to play my shared content" text is missing from the Homegroup settings page

Hi,

As per the description, I understand that “Allow all devices on this network such as TVs and game consoles to play my shared content "option is missing on the Home group. We will assist you
to resolve the issue.

To assist you better, I would like to know the current build installed on the computer.

Ideally this options can be found easily by:

• Open Home Group by typing homegroup
  in the search box on the taskbar, and then select HomeGroup.
• Select the settings you want.

If you are unable to see the option, I suggest you to create yet another Home group and check if the options are present.
