Windows 10: Microsoft needs to start providing customer service and listen to what users are saying

I am so sick of nonstop problems with windows 10. I always preferred windows because they gave me a lot more options and I was able to figure out how to use it the way I needed to. Their attempts to make windows more "user friendly" are driving me towards apple/mac for my next computer. If I am not going to have the flexibility that I preferred in windows than at least I can minimize viruses with a mac.

Win7 Annoyance: HomeGroup Listener service

Okay , since i saw the two win7 threads , i see that , HOMEGRoUP is .... not even needed , but it worked for me atleast until the printer stopped sharing for some reason , I also had disabled (for some reason?) multiple services like Peer Networking (3 related, were disabled) and Homegroup services (2 , manual )

Only the Homegroup provider service was always started , im not sure at all if homegroup ever worked , but i CANT leave the homegroup , i want to START OVER because i recently installed fresh win7 on my computer , (this is the PC with the printer attached , again*Roll Eyes )


Now to GET me here , i have wasted an hour searching throught web , full of useless 3 step wannabe-advanced "guides" that only tell you the obvious basic ways, what i already did.



This is when i try to start the HG Listener service , that is responsible for configuration.

I have already followed some solutions but wern't working , mainly because I think the Listener service is is not present;

but the solution was to delete everything from

C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Roaming\PeerNetworking


The question is , should i opt for mussels way and COMPLETELY ERASE DELETE DISABLE homegroup , or should i repair the HomeGroup Listener service and then it should Leave the homegroup and reset everything. ( MAKE SURE YOU DISABLE "SHARING WIZARD" in FOLDER OPTIONS,"simple file sharing" in xp)

I don't even know what the heck is with this win7 clusterfick , but i think im also fed up with "you need to have permissions from [yourself]" ; so i made a new thread not sure if it fits elsewhere , but i quite agree with the "Security/VirtualStore/permission" being totally useless to home users.

Microsoft makes OS for office environiments , 80% of it's users are home users.

Im not sure yet if it's the cause why the printer doesn't want to share , i'll see.

Oh and , the purpose of disabling services (i did that months ago and printer was working until 2 weeks ago)
