Win 10 Home group[

Hello

I can make a homegroup on each pc but cannot connect them. In the day with XP I could connect the laptop and router and make conection then disconnect the cable and still have connectivity but not with10.  I have read a lot and this seems to be a common issue with Win 10. Do you have any ideas about connectivity.

Further, I tried to share folders as I could not make the home groups connect.

I think I may have made the wrong choices about sharing or not.

How should a normal folder be, not shared or shared?

Is there a setting to instruct all filers to their default?

TY

Hi Peter,

I don't think I can help on the connectivity, but on the question of sharing folders… its usual not to share….. you can select folders that you want to share…. but I think it's often better to have a folder, call it "shared stuff" or something memorable, set it to be shared and then copy anything you want to into it…that way you don't unintentially share stuff you didn't intend to….

Hope this helps
