Windows 10: Windows 10 Homegroup Pictures Library "Working on it"

I have two computers in a Homegroup. I have been able to share files with no issue between the two - except today I noticed that I get a "Working on it" message and File Explorer hangs when trying to pull up the Pictures library from one of the computers. The other libraries (Videos, documents, etc.) work fine.

I've removed sharing. I've removed the offending computer from the Homegroup.

Neither fixed.

Any ideas?

Access to Homegroup by Windows 10 and Windows 7 laptops

<p>Our household has 2 laptops - one running Windows 10 and another on Windows 7, both 64 bit.&nbsp; I successfully set up a Homegroup using the Windows 10 machine and added the Windows 7 machine to the Homegroup.&nbsp; When I access the Homegroup on the
Windows 10 machine, I can find the Windows 7 machine and access all documents, pictures and videos as expected.&nbsp; When I access the Homegroup on the Windows 7 machine, I can not see any of these items -- only the library icons, but clicking on them does
not open anything.&nbsp; </p><p></p><p>I went back to the Windows 10 machine and selected a couple of random folders in my Documents library, right clicked and marked them "Share with Homegroup (view and edit)".&nbsp; Once I did this, the folders appeared
on the Windows 7 Homegroup screen (not within the Documents library icon, but on the same screen next to the library icons).&nbsp; When I click to open the folder on the Windows 7 machine, I get the following:&nbsp; Error Code: 0x80070035 The network path
was not found.&nbsp; When I click "Diagnose", it returns a message saying "Windows can't find "&lt;folder path name&gt;". The name might be misspelled."&nbsp; I clicked "Next" and the troubleshooting ends with confirming the Windows 10 laptop exists, but Windows
can't find "Users".</p><p></p><p>Please help as I cannot find any useful information in online searches.</p>

How are you sharing the Pictures folder? You have two ways to share libraries among Homegroup users on Windows:

1) choosing to share Pictures library between Homegroup users;

2) right-clicking the Pictures library folder on This PC, and selecting "Share with>Homegroup (view and edit)". Try to do the last step and see if you are able to access Picture folder from the other computer member of your Homegroup.

 

It sounds like the Index is messed up on both machines. If just two computers, use standard Folder Sharing, instead of using Home Group to share a shortcut to a library.

 

I'm pretty sure I tried both methods. The odd thing is that it worked for a second twice since I posted this, but it eventually hangs again.

 

Good idea. I've been using the Network area in Quick Access which seems to work too.

 

There is a Registry fix that you can do. Doing a System Restore does not always fix it, because it depends on what is exactly causing the issue. Could be an update that Microsoft pushed out, could be any third party security software that you are using, or it could just be the problem that Home Group has had for a long time, that if you make any major changes on one machine, even reinstalling the network drivers or repair the OS. One of the other machines on the network gets lost and still associates the security key with a non-existent device.
