Resolved I Got A Problem With My Home Group

Hi all,

I got a problem with my home group.

Some background:

4 laptops and 1 desktop

All running windows 10


After getting “no other computer are available” or something like that, even though all are up and running, I went to each computer and clicked on “leave the home group” and rebooted the computer.

After they are up and running again I go to the home group setup in Control panel trying to set up a new home group, but instead I get: “you are invited to join a home group”.

There should be no home group. When I click on join, it either takes me to the screen to input my password or on some computers it goes to: “verifying password”

After a couple of minutes it tells me it can no longer detect the home group, but when I click on ok it takes me back to “you are invited…..

On some computers I stopped the “verifying password” after 20 minutes or so.

Apparently there is something leftover of the old home group and I cannot setup a new home group.

Anyone have an idea on where to go next?

Thanks

I had it going for a while, and then it stopped. probably an upgrade or something broke it.
Question remains: why can't I set up a new group?

I used the guide above to set it up and it works fine.
