    Windows 10 - Homegroup cannot be set up on this computer

    So if I remove all my Windows 10 pc's from WORKGROUP; I can then re-establish one Homegroup that all can join?

    Currently the pc that set up the homegroup cannot join any homegroup, and cannot set up a homegroup. It might have happened after I did a windows 10 re-install 8 months ago; not quite sure. Homegroup worked for several years starting with windows 7 and
    into windows 10. For the past year, it hasn't worked on all pc's; just some.

    IN services.msc In the Status column, next to the Peer Networking Grouping and HomeGroup Provider services, you should see the word Started. If you don't see this, double‑click the name of the service, and then click Start.
