    How to solve frustrating homegroup problem


    Im running w10 on a desktop and laptop and having problems connecting to my homegroup (HG) but having problems setting up a homegroupUsing my old pw did not work. When I tried to set up another HG I was given a new pw, but entering it on my laptop I received user name and pw were incorrectRan homegroup trouble shooter on both ps's and no problems were detectedI then tried to start all over by deleting the HG on both PC's.I used the delete HG option on my desktop and was successful, but when I tried deleting HG on laptopthere was no option to delete HG option given.Any suggestions on what I should try to start a ne HG from scratch??

    W10 Upgrade has changed file types

    I have just had the latest big W10 upgrade and discovered it has changed my Word documents to Office Open XML files.

    Can anyone tell me why this was done and whether there is a quick fix. Obviously I can use 'Open with' to get them back into Word. However then this involves duplicate documents.

    Cannot connect to homegroup after Windows Updates

    This did not solve the problem. We were able to solve the problem by going to another computer on the homegroup and deleted the computer that could not connect to the homegroup from the homegroup. After that I was able to connect to the homegroup from
    the 'problem' laptop.

    How to solve frustrating homegroup problem

    HomeGroup has always been temperamental. I would recommend to stop using HomeGroup and start using a Workgroup.

    You'll have to soon anyway, when the Spring Creators Update (1803) is released in April HomeGroup is going to be removed.
