Windows 10: Several problem with homegroup

Hi,

I have 2 PCs running Windows 10 (Computer A and Computer B). They are fully updates. Both computers are join to the same homegroup. I just create the homegroup.

1. What was Strange:
If I was creating the homegroup on Computer B then Computer A was seeing the offer from Computer B.
If I was creating the homegroup on computer A then computer B was seeing Nothing.
So I end up creating the homegroup on computer B and join computer A.

During the diagnostic process, I reset both network card. On one computer I was asked if I would like making that computer seen by all others computers on the network. But not on the other one.

Q1: Which parameter is trigger by this question?


2. With homegroup
On computer B, in the homegroup, I see computer B but not computer A.
On computer A, I see... Nothing.

Q2: How explaining that behavior. Same network, services are running.


3. With network neighborhood and homegroup.

I took time to share read write what I want to homegroup user. So, from network neighborhood, I would expect being able to access the directories content. nada.

On Computer B, I get a credential to access computer A.
On computer A, Nothing except access denied on Computer's B directories.

Q3: Any idea?

W10 Upgrade has changed file types

I have just had the latest big W10 upgrade and discovered it has changed my Word documents to Office Open XML files.

Can anyone tell me why this was done and whether there is a quick fix. Obviously I can use 'Open with' to get them back into Word. However then this involves duplicate documents.

 

Windows 10 Homegroup problem

I ran the troubleshooter for the Homegroup and got a message that I need to run the Troubleshooter for Network issues first. The Troubleshooter found no problems with the network. I then ran the troubleshooter for the Homegroup and it also found no problems.

I have several other computer's running Windows 10 and they are all connected to the Homegroup so yeah, there is a problem here.

 

Welcome to the forum. the simple way is to remove homegroup its a pain. You then just use workgroup create an account on the other pc with same name password as the one your logged in with. then share folders on the pc and you should be good to go
