    Which workgroup is similar to HomeUsers?

    For window 7, HomeUsers workgroup is available for selection, but HomeUsers is not available for window 10.

    • Event Log Readers
    • Guests
    • Hyper-V Administrators
    • IIS_USRS
    • Performance Log Users
    • Performance Monitor users
    • Remote Management Users
    • System Managed Accounts group
    • Users
