Windows 10: SmartTV Media Access with HomeGroup, WIN10

Made a Win10 update recently. As expected, HomeGroup is removed from the updated version.

Here's my problem, with the previous build have the HomeGroup in which my SmartTV can access directly to Win10-PC and play the Media files shared in HomeGroup.

After the build update to Win10, my SmartTV can no longer connect to Win10 and see shared Media from PC... I've been trying so hard to find the answer or option workaround other than HomeGroup after removal and SmartTVs but no luck.

Is there an option where I can install HomeGroup independently back to Win10 with the present build? or is there any other solution for this?

:)

 

WIN10 HOMEGROUP not accessible by WIN7 PCs

Hello,

I cannot connect my WIN 7(home) PCs (3 of them) to a homegoup created on a new Windows 10 (home) computer.

The WIN 7 PC see each other without any issue.

Here’s how I proceeded:

• Leave all homegroups on the WIN7 PCs
• Create a new homegroup on the WIN10 pc with the same group
• The WIN7 PCs see the new homegroup
• Click on join and enter password
• After some time I get a message that connection was not possible

I’ve also tried to create the homegroup on a WIN7 pc. The WIN10 pc can see and accept to join but the shares are not visible.

Win10 HomeGroup Password and Set Up Issues

Thank you for getting back to me. Unfortunately the troubleshooter did not find any issues. HomeGroup from start to Finish (been there), Step One bottoms out at HomeGroup >
Tap or click Create. I don't have a 'create' option, only a 'join' option...and 'join' wants a password. Since I did not set up a HomeGroup when I installed Win10 (apparently Win10 does it automatically), I do not have a password to join the
existing HomeGroup, therefore stuck. Open to additional suggestions. Thanks.
