Windows 10: How to remove a Workgroup setting in Windows 10 That was used for hacking

Title pretty well sums up my situation. Hacker set up a workgroup and continues to try to access my laptop. I know where to change the workgroup name but not remove it completely. It wants dns suffix to switch to domain. I just want my plain old stand alone laptop back.


Thanks in advance

Windows 7 Workgroup help in setting up password

Thanks for the suggestion, but have done what mussels and the other guy said, I've made user accounts via Computer management console\Local Users and Groups\Users.

I've set up an account where we admins can control the specific shared folder when logged in remotely *Smile .

My only problem is due to the command I tinkered with "net use \\PC-01\IPC$ /del" on computer #1, made it disappear from the network/workgroup even if it is joined there.

Would making it join a fake workgroup eg. workgroup and re joining the original one "501 Computers" fix it?

EDIT: No need for domain things, this just a small lan of 6 computers 1 of them just named as a Server (not really a dedicated server machine).
