    Homegroup


    So many have given Microsoft feedback about Homegroup but they are not listening. I have a number of pc's in the home and need to be able to see each other.
    I am now only using version 240 because that one works, or is there a way to do it on 10565. I am lost

    :)

  2. Cannot Leave HomeGroup From Linked PC

    1. Make sure all PC's have left the HomeGroup or are NOT joined to a HomeGroup

    2. Turn off all PC's

    3. Reboot PC that originally had HomeGroup and now has the phantom HomeGroup

    4. After reboot, you should be able to create a new HomeGroup on that PC replacing the phantom HomeGroup. Print or write down new HomeGroup password.

    5. Boot other PCs and attempt to join HomeGroup with new password.

    Note: Make sure you use the ORIGINAL PC that had the HomeGroup ! (step 3)

    Note: Once you have fixed the phantom HomeGroup, you should be able to have all the PC's leave the HomeGroup, then create a new HomeGroup on the PC of your choice.

    Set up Homegroup with a dual band router

    Hi David,

    After creating a HomeGroup network, the next step is to join it. You'll need the HomeGroup password, if there is any. To join a HomeGroup, follow these steps on the PC that you want to add to the HomeGroup:

    • Open HomeGroup by typing homegroup in the search box on the taskbar, then select
      HomeGroup from the results.
    • Select Join now > Next.
    • Select the libraries and devices you want to share with the HomeGroup, and then select
      Next.
    • Type the HomeGroup password in the box, and then select Next.
    • Select Finish.
    Note: If you do not see a space to enter a password, there might not be a HomeGroup available. Make sure that someone has created a Homegroup, or you may create a HomeGroup yourself.

    If you are having trouble joining a HomeGroup, you may run the HomeGroup troubleshooter to find and fix problems with the HomeGroup network. To do so: Open
    Homegroup and click Start the HomeGroup troubleshooter.

    If you need further assistance, feel free to ask us.

    Regards.
