Windows 10: How do I share now that Homegroups are no longer available?

Just updated to latest insider build. I have a desktop that acts as a server to my laptop connected to TV. Latest insider build no longer has Homegroup. Is there a work around ?

how to stop homegroup, buy not really...

This is a strange problem, the Network and Sharing Center says I have created a homegroup, but it only shows the "join now" button. I cannot turn off (leave) the homegroup because I have not actually joined yet, I guess, so that I could try and create a
new homegroup; because when I click on the "join now" button and paste in the password, I get a message: "Windows no longer detects a homegroup on this network. To create a new homegroup click OK, and then open HomeGroup in Control Panel." If I open HomeGroup
in the Control Panel, it's the same thing, just the "join now" button. There is nothing about leaving the homegroup or creating a new homegroup.

If I right click on the network icon in the notification area, there is a "HomeGroup: Available to join" link listed with my active network, but it just opens the same page with the information that I have created a homegroup on the network and the "join
now" button.

In brief, Windows is saying I have created a homegroup, but I cannot join it or leave it either. This is the same on the second computer I would like to connect to. There is a homegroup and a "join now" button, but then the message "Windows is no longer
detecting a homegroup on this network"; because of course, I am not connected to the homegroup on the first computer, which is where the homegroup was originally created.

A few months ago I changed the 500 GB Hard Drive for a 500 GB SSD drive on the first (primary) computer, and I don't know if I've used the homegroup since then or not. Could this have anything to do with the problem?

How can I create a new homegroup or at least fix the one that exists but doesn't exist?
