Brink ..Unable to remove homegroup from a pc


Am trying to remove homegroups from both W1) pcs so I can start from scratch.

(Was unable to share a homegroup with new laptop as homegroup passwords were not accepted).

Was successful in removing from my laptop but could not remove homegroup from my desktop PC. There is no option to leave Homegoup in Homegroup settings as there was on the laptop.

I tried following Brinks suggested method of deleting the Peergroup files, and that too was unable to solve the problem

Any help with this would be appreciated

 

Unable to Join Homegroup either on Laptop or Desktop


Hello,

After upgrading both Desktop & Laptop to Win 10, I am not able to JOIN Homegroup. Both computers show the option Homegroup: READY TO CREATE. Nomally when a Homegroup is created through one of the computers in network, Second or other computers should show it as READY TO JOIN. But that is not happening.

Internet works on the both computers. I can even see each other computer in Network. But Laptop, most of the times, is unable to open up shared Desktop and shows Path error.

Using TP Link MR3420 Wifi Router. DHCP enabled.
Desktop using Belkin Wifi Dongle to connect to wifi network.
Laptop (Lenovo) has builtin Wifi.

Any suggestions/solution please ?
