  1. What's happened to HomeGroup Network Service


    Constant problems with not connecting to my network printer. I've selected options to "join" but nothing happens?? from both computers! Dead Air ?? Not even a swirl to give me hope. Read other questions about same with no answers. Has WIndows 10 given up on home networks without telling anyone ?


    Nice to Know

  2. Win7 Annoyance: HomeGroup Listener service

    Okay , since i saw the two win7 threads , i see that , HOMEGRoUP is .... not even needed , but it worked for me atleast until the printer stopped sharing for some reason , I also had disabled (for some reason?) multiple services like Peer Networking (3 related, were disabled) and Homegroup services (2 , manual )

    Only the Homegroup provider service was always started , im not sure at all if homegroup ever worked , but i CANT leave the homegroup , i want to START OVER because i recently installed fresh win7 on my computer , (this is the PC with the printer attached , again*Roll Eyes What's happened to HomeGroup Network Service :rolleyes: )


    Now to GET me here , i have wasted an hour searching throught web , full of useless 3 step wannabe-advanced "guides" that only tell you the obvious basic ways, what i already did.



    This is when i try to start the HG Listener service , that is responsible for configuration.
    I have already followed some solutions but wern't working , mainly because I think the Listener service is is not present;

    but the solution was to delete everything from

    C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Roaming\PeerNetworking


    The question is , should i opt for mussels way and COMPLETELY ERASE DELETE DISABLE homegroup , or should i repair the HomeGroup Listener service and then it should Leave the homegroup and reset everything. ( MAKE SURE YOU DISABLE "SHARING WIZARD" in FOLDER OPTIONS,"simple file sharing" in xp)

    I don't even know what the heck is with this win7 clusterfick , but i think im also fed up with "you need to have permissions from [yourself]" ; so i made a new thread not sure if it fits elsewhere , but i quite agree with the "Security/VirtualStore/permission" being totally useless to home users.

    Microsoft makes OS for office environiments , 80% of it's users are home users.

    Im not sure yet if it's the cause why the printer doesn't want to share , i'll see.

    Oh and , the purpose of disabling services (i did that months ago and printer was working until 2 weeks ago)
