Windows 10: Phantom Homegroup after Windows 10 Upgrade/Clean install

Hello everyone,

My family members and I have upgraded or clean installed to Windows 10 and now every computer thinks there's a homegroup, but there isn't. I have tried every possible solution I could find, but none actually worked.
We have 4 Desktops and 1 Laptop (which is on Win8.1).

Thanks in advance.

:)

 

Cannot Leave HomeGroup From Linked PC

1. Make sure all PC's have left the HomeGroup or are NOT joined to a HomeGroup

2. Turn off all PC's

3. Reboot PC that originally had HomeGroup and now has the phantom HomeGroup

4. After reboot, you should be able to create a new HomeGroup on that PC replacing the phantom HomeGroup. Print or write down new HomeGroup password.

5. Boot other PCs and attempt to join HomeGroup with new password.

Note: Make sure you use the ORIGINAL PC that had the HomeGroup ! (step 3)

Note: Once you have fixed the phantom HomeGroup, you should be able to have all the PC's leave the HomeGroup, then create a new HomeGroup on the PC of your choice.

 

Phantom Homegroup after upgrading to Windows 10

Nevermind. I typed this e-mail and then brought Homegroups back up. Now it's giving the option to create a homegroup.

I'd be curious to hear any thoughts on that caused this.
