    Windows 10 Will Not Let Me Create A Homegroup Password


    I have just installed Windows 10 on my HP Elitebook 8460p Windows Pro 64 bit laptop.
    I am currently part of a homegroup consisting of four other computers which share the same password.
    When I tried to connect the Windows 10 to the existing homegroup with the password they are using, I was told that Windows no longer detects a homegroup on this network.
    It told me that to create a new network, go into the Control Panel, click on Homegroup and create a password.
    This failed repeatedly, even after going into advanced sharing settings.
    In reading some of the threads on this subject I noticed one that said as of April, homegroup is being removed from Windows 10.
    Is this true or did I misunderstand?
    How can I connect Windows 10 to my other computers as part of the homegroup?


    :)

  2. Lost Homegroup Password

    I am sorry Charles, this worked for me as I just did it again to make sure it would work. ok Charles in Windows 10 go to the homegroup in control panel. Under "Other homegroup actions" there is an option that says "View or print the homegroup password"
    click on that and it shows you the password. Let me know if this helped you.

  3. Created Homegroup that wont let me connect

    I tried to create a Homegroup. I clicked the button to create it and one was created but I have zero access to it. It says I have to contact myself to get the password so that I can connect, but I was never given the option to create a password in the
    first place. It wont let me view the password, even though it was my account that created the homegroup. It says I can join but it wont actually let me join without this mythical password. I can't even delete the homegroup and start over. Someone please help.

    It is being removed as it's never worked very well going back to basic workgroups is the best option. Do you have ipv6 running as without it home group won't work
