Unable to setup a workgroup in windows 10

I have been trying to setup a workgroup in windows 10. Unfortunately, each time I try to create it, I am told Windows cant set up a workgroup on this computer.

The computer will not even allow me to join another workgroup even with the correct access password.

Surely it cant be a major issue to carry out what should be a simple procedure. Troubleshooters are useless.

 

In Windows 10 Home - why would you disable the ability to change the default workgroup name from "workgroup" to something else?
