Windows 10: Lost Home Group

Seem to have lost Home Group between two laptops. Worked perfectly some time ago.

Now the Home Group symbol no longer appears

Starting Home Group Listener gives no more endpoints available

I suggest you to run the inbuilt home group Troubleshooter and check if this helps. Follow these steps to run the troubleshooter:

• In the search box, type ‘Troubleshooter’, and then click
  ‘Troubleshooting’.
• Click on view all.
• Select Home group from the list and follow the onscreen instructions.

Hope this helps. Get back to us with the results for further assistance.

 

regarding windows 10 home group options

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community. Let me assist you.

These may be the below possible reasons of you facing the issue. Please go through the points.

• If a Home group already exists on your network, you'll be asked to join it instead of creating a new one.
• If your PC belongs to a domain, you can join a home group but you can't create one. You can get to libraries and devices on other home group PCs, but you can't share your own libraries and devices with the home group.

If both the above scenarios doesn’t imply, then I would suggest you try the below steps.

Steps:

• 
  Switch to an Administrator user account, in case you are not using one.
  
• 
  Run a Home group Troubleshooter to fix the issue.

Show Local users and Groups


Hello Frank, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

If you have the Windows 10 Home edition, then it will not have Local Users and Groups (lusrmgr.msc) included in it. It's only available in the Pro and Enterprise editions instead.

If you like, you could use step 3 in OPTION THREE of the tutorial below list users in a group.
