    Computers Vanished From File Explorer But Network Still Works

    I agree with @Try3. I have tried every suggested method to fix Windows networking suggested on these forums. All at best only worked for a short time. The only things that helped was:
    1. Batch file I suggested in an earlier post
    2. Creating shortcuts to computers on my home network
    Note these two things are not fixes but workaround. However, at least they help and have never failed.

    I have shortcuts set up for eight computers on my home network. I have created a folder on my desktop called My Network to hold the shortcuts. They have a mix of the following operating systems:
    • Windows 10 - 4
    • Windows 7 - 3
    • Windows XP - 1

  3. Computer Not Working

    It's a laptop and it has a battery so I don't think that will work unless you want me ripping out the battery repeatedly

    W10 can't create HOMEGROUP on my computer

    Have you done this?

    Solution 1 – Delete files from PeerNetworking folder

    • Go to c:windowsserviceProfilesLocalServiceAppDataRoamingPeerNetworking.
    • Delete idstore.sst and move on to Step 3. If deleting idstore.sst doesn’t work, go back to
      c:windowsserviceProfilesLocalServiceAppDataRoamingPeerNetworking and delete all files and folders in it and go back to Step 3.
    • Go to the Network Settings and Leave the Homegroup.
    • Repeat this for all the computers in your network.
    • Turn off your computers.
    • Turn on just one, and create a new Homegroup on it.
    • This Homegroup should be recognized on all of your computers now.
