Windows 10: When will MS bring back Homegroup?

I have a simple home network: desktop, my laptop, my wife's laptop. I cannot get them all to see one another.

Sorry, but I do not have the patience to go into arcane setting and services to adjust 150 setting options.

This seems to be among the most obvious things an operating system should do brainlessly.

When will MS automate this basic task that nearly every household shares today?

I just want to be able to print from a laptop using the printer connected to the desktop. Pretty exotic, huh?
