    Win 10 Build 10049 - Problems with Homegroup and Sharing


    Ok.... So I've read the posts on here - and still can't make it work!!*Mad
    Homegroup:
    Could see the Homegroup set up from the win 7 desktop from the win 10 laptop, but when I put the password in, it eventually told me there was no homegroup available!
    So, left that Homegroup, set up another one from the Win 10 Laptop - and can see all the Win 8 laptops, but not my desktop running win 7. Strangely, the printer share on the Win 7 desktop still works!

    Sharing:
    Can see the machine - and the shares I have set up, but cannot access as I get the 'Don't have permissions' error.
    So went to Credentials Manager, but there is something already set up for the Desktop for the homegroup.
    Anything I try to add - just overwrites this! Can I set up multiple passwords for the same machine?

    BTW - I do not have passwords set on the Desktop running Win 7 - in case thats relevant.
    (and dont have a password on the Win 10 laptop either)

    Any help will stop me pulling more hair out!

    Thanks guys.
    Andy

    Upgrade to Windows 10 RTF from Windows 10 Pro Technical Preview Build 10049

    I'm stuck at Build 10049. Attempting to reinstall Win 8.1 blocked by "invalid" prod key. ISOs of subsequent builds fail. Various File check id's a problem but fixing problem fails for various reasons. Safe mode startup nada. Despair deepens while exploring
    Linux alternatives. Getting bad case of Windows Willies. Is Windows 10 RTF forever out of reach?

    Windows 10 can't find the Samsung printer in the Homegroup

    I have a WIN 7 desktop machine where I set up a homegroup. I have a Samsung ML-2510 laser printer attached to the desktop printer. I also have a new WIN 10 laptop computer. When I went to homegroup setup the laptop found the existing homegroup, and after
    inserting the WIN 7 homegroup password, the new machine was connected to the homegroup. Ialso have a Brother printer which is hard wired connected to a ARRIS Modem-router. Both computers recognize the Brother printer and print documents, but the WIN 10 laptop
    tells me that the Samsung printer is offline. The Samsung printer is shared in the homegroup with the following attributes: currently connected to network, turn on network discovery, turn on file and printer sharing, turn on public sharing, file sharing
    connection use 128-bit encryption; password protected sharing off is off; and allow Windows to manage homegroup connections is on. When I connect the laptop directly to the Samsung printer it prints documents with no problem. What do you recommend I do to
    change the WIN 10 computer so that is online in the homegroup?

    Andy,

    One thing I can tell you is that I've been on the internet and networking for over 20 and I've never messed with Credentials mess!
    Set up a network
    Setup network file sharing
    Share some files on all devices
    Put all devices on same homegroup
    Populate the Network folder on all devices
    Network folder should list all devices

    No shares.............. no show??? simple as that............

    Hi Andy,

    Doesn't sound too serious.............

    Off the top of head.......

    Remove Win8 and Win10 from Homegroup
    Both machines............ Network and file sharing set
    Both machines added to Win7 workgroup
    Set shares (This PC:\Downloads for instance?)
    check that Network folder on all machines displays at least one share... ThisPC Downloads ??
    clicking Network folder should display all machines
    clicking any machine should display all Shared folders............

    Try that while I get some lunch.............
    I'll be back later shoot down any problems that may emerge *Huh

    Hi Roger,
    So, on my W7 desktop - I decided to go into share - and select Everyone.
    Now I can see the drive from Win8 AND Win 10!
    Strange that Win 7 could see the share without specifying Everyone....

    Still no luck with the Homegroup (which I would rather like to get working, as its easier for Family Members (i.e. wife)
    I did notice that when I try to share a Library or Directory, when I select Share With - there is a padlock next to Nobody....
    Which seems to imply that it can't be shared...
    Do you know what this means and is it stopping me sharing with the Homegroup?
    Havn't got round to researching that yet!

    Many thanks
    Andy

    I haven't seen "Nobody" listed but I use a Home Network and the difference may explain that.
    The help page I posted above contains a list of the various scenarios available in the sidebar.
    I think you'll find all you answers there and more help with Homegroup.
    If you can't find an answer come back and I'll try to help.
    Good luck!

    8 pc's and 2 NAS on home network.

    Win 7, Win 8, and win10 up to 9926 - Home group, shares, NP

    Win 10 10041,49 - CRAP! no homegroup, no shares, no mail, many apps don't work, etc.
    Many hours lost futzing with credentials to no avail.

    Sure hope they address this soon.

    Cortana and Spartan may be useful??? But fix the FUNDAMENTALS!

    Have you set shares on Win10?
    Open Homegroup in Win10................ should show shares
    Open Win8... should show shares
    Then try opening Win8 from Win10 and versa vice...........I had problems too but fiddled with it by going both ways in the network and they all came up.
    YMMV

    Win 10 Build 10049 - Problems with Homegroup and Sharing

    The Win 7 & 8, to each other. no problems

    The Win 10 10041 & 10049 won't accept Homegroup. Accept all the share settings
    but DON'T do it. Demand login for ANY other PC and vice-versa.

    Happy for your success but has eluded me.

    obtw... These are all upgrades, not clean installs,
    was dumb enough to start Win 10 on main PC's & am hoping
    MS Win 10 team fixes the issues before a fresh install and
    rebuild everything is required. yeah, technical builds. sigh

    I posted a link to MS Help with various scenarios for networking........... did you look at that?
    I don't like Homegroup and Windows seems to always set one up automatically.
    Maybe a Home Network would serve you better. Download a copy of that page above and, you know the old saying, RTFM
    *Biggrin
