    Workgroup shares Windows ID versus Local Accounts


    I have so far avoided using Windows ID login (except on a sacrificial VM I use for Windows Insider(*)) as I can no longer access the SMB shares that I have set up.

    Is there any way for the two to co-exist? I can't get my head round using SMB shares and NTFS permissions with Windows Live ID - is it possible in any way at all, or have MS (as usual) given us a "new spiffy improved thing" which is actually none of the above?

    Moi - cynical? You bet!

    (*) ASIDE - Why can't I use a local login AND have have access to the Insider programme?

    Windows 10 Computer Description Workgroup Not Available

    I'm having a weird issue here with Windows 10 Pro Network Sharing

    I cannot see my own computer on a network, but I can see other computers on a network

    I tried turning ON file and printer sharing, but it always reverts back and turns it off.

    Also the computer description and Workgroup says its not available. I tried to change the description, but it seems like grayed out; I cannot add any description. I tried to change the Workgroup, but it doesn't do anything.

    I'm logged in as Administrator, Tried rebooting, uninstalled anti Virus, enabled NetBIOS over TCP, changed account from Microsoft login to Local account. It doesn't resolves the issue. I'm not sure what am I missing here.

    Windows 10 unable to receive printer connection from linux RHEL 5

    Hi Antony,

    Thanks for you reply.

    Moving forward i don't receive any error code or error message, while sharing the printer and i didn't make any
    software changes. I'm using local account as user profile. What i'm suspecting is the homegroup and workgroup issues. As per your suggestion i'm planning to convert it to Workgroup and check if you
    can share the printer with Linux.

    It would be better and easier if you can provide some steps in order to convert windows 10 to workgroup environment.

    Thanks and will appreciate.

    Workgroup shares Windows ID versus Local Accounts

    Home or work network?

    I am running Win10 Pro x86, Win7 Pro x64 on desktop and a Win10 Pro x64 laptop all on the same Homegroup Network.
    i disabled the Windows ID (my outlook.com email address) after experiencing issues.

    No, not Homegroup (yuk)! Windows Workgroup. Domain server possibly in the offing.
