Windows 10: how to setup two computers on same network with different owners

Windows 11 Pro on both machines

Different IDE setups?

Will Sir-Reals suggestion really work? I figured if the pin's there in some setups and not there in others it would make a difference...

 

Unable to setup Homegroup on Windows 10 computer

Hello Mike,

We understand the inconvenience you have experienced.

• Did you try setting up HomeGroup on another computer?
• Is your computer installed with any third party Antivirus or Online security software?

Suggest you to check this issue by restarting your computer once, post complete shutdown, to see if it goes correctly. Also ensure that your computer is up to date with Windows Updates.
Go to Start Button/>Settings/>Update & Security/> Windows Update and click
Check the updates. If you find any pending updates, then try to install them and see if it makes any difference.

Follow the below mentioned steps to setup HomeGroup on Windows 10.

• 
  Right-click on Start and select
  Control Panel from the context menu.
  

• 
  Select
  Network and Sharing center option, then click on the
  HomeGroup at the bottom left fringe on the Network and Sharing Center window.
  

• 
  Click
  Create a homegroup button. You see the list of files and devices that you would like to share within the HomeGroup.
  
• 
  On the drop down menu beside every item set the
  level of permission of each item, then click Next once you are done.
  

• 
  You will be taken to the next step where you can see an
  auto-generated password. If the computer need to participate in the HomeGroup then they require this password for authentication. You can also modify the password later. Tap the
  Finish button.
  

Now join other PC into this HomeGroup, which you think should participate in the HomeGroup activities.

Keep us posted if you require further assistance.

 

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
