    Is it possible to Share a Windows 10 machine on a WorkGroup


    Thanks for your help and patience Ztruker

    Unfortunately I can't do that because "Everyone" does not exists at all, it is "Tout le monde" on my machine *Sad

    As I understand this is a build-in Group and I can't create another one named "Everyone" with the same properties ?

    Sorry but I don't know what to tell you. If you can't click on Tout le monde, click on Edit then Remove I don't know what else to tell you.

    You said you changed your input language from French to English. Maybe you need to install the English version?????

    I also experienced the same problem. Windows 7 can open share folder windows 10 .. but Windows 10 is unable to read folder share win 7 ... I think the share folder windows 10 can only share the same version. So, windows 10 is not good friend of windows 7 or XP..













    I look around on internet and just found some tricky solution that needs Registry editing

    Is it really so complicate to configure Windows 10 for networking ?

    Thanks for your comments / suggestions[/QUOTE]

    win 10 can share with win 7 as the earlier posts here show. Re-read this thread and see if you get a result.

    Unless something is screwed up, you don't need registry edits for sharing.

    Networking with Windows 10 seems anyway to be very difficult and probably an unexpected weakness !

    I finally ask an IT consultant to help to get my three Windows 10 machines visible each to the other
    He works almost 2 hours to get it done
    And even now, when a machine Wake-Up it seems to be deeply discarded from networking and I have to retry severall time or even restart Windows to get it visible again !

    This is regression from my point of view
    Some will claim that this is the price to pay for better security
    On that way I would say that the best security is no network at all .... maybe a trends ? Is it possible to Share a Windows 10 machine on a WorkGroup :)

    If you are talking about network discovery, that was fixed with KB3140743. Have you got this installed?

    Thank you linw

    No I see now that on one of my machines the Update stuck on

    Update for Windows 10 Version 1511 for x64-based Systems (KB3106246)
    Failed to Install

    I will investigate about that

    Is it possible to Share a Windows 10 machine on a WorkGroup

    Hello linw
    Now I see that although KB 3106246 is still stuck
    The KB 3140743 was successfully installed on 3-3-2016
    I will then review my other machines and check network discovery
    And for KB 3106246 I will continue to investigate
