I have a lot of windows PCs and they were all on a homegroup based from my old amd 8350 build windows 7 etc... from 2010 and before. Named that PC "Custom PC" as it was my primary build.
Ever since I dismantled that PC and still use the devices on that homegroup I have had a lot of issues. random disconnects signingouts PC's not showing up. I want to do it fresh.
I'm on a new PC now. all my PC's that were connected before are upgraded to windows 10 aside from one on windows 7.
I read some forums that suggested I go to C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Roaming\PeerNetworking
delete all the files there and remove every device still connected
so I did this. went to every PC and deleted the contents of this folder on my network. removed them from the homegroup and restarted or turned them off. I have other devices that I am unable to remove from the group because those installs of windows are no longer in existence, so I did everything that is online...
dell xps, inspiron, surface pro 3, 8350 build, server, ryzen 7 build. all pc's that are working disconnected and deleted.
I restart my PC and what do I see?
"Custom PC already has a homegroup on this network" I try to type I the old password. it fails.
what am I doing wrong? how hard is it to setup file sharing?
