Can't Join Or Create A Home Group
Sep 4, 2015
I'm having problems a PC that I upgraded to win 10. All seemed to work well until I did a clean install of Win 7 on my second PC and tried to reconnect the PCs via homegroup.As I began to setup the fresh Win 7 PC, I discovered I couldn't join the existing homegroup. Seemed reasonable, so I left all homegroups but found that the new homegroup on Win 7 couldn't be joined by Win 10 and I can't create one on Win 10. Network discovery is enabled on both but when I checked running services on Win 10, I found that Peer Network Grouping could not be started "on local machine" Error Code 1068). Network Discovery and IPv6 are enabled, etc.
In Network view, Win 7 can access the NAS as can Win 10, but they cannot access each other. I don't want to revert back to Win 7, but the thought of having to manage all file transfers through my NAS as an intermediary is undesirable. I should have added that I had run the troubleshooters on both PCs and no problems were found by either the network or homegroup troubleshooters. PC 1 is running Windows 7 Home Premium and PC 2 is Win 10 with all updates.When I first upgraded to Win 10 on PC 2, I was able to connect to homegroup, However, when I did a fresh install of Win 7 on PC 1, I have had this homegroup problem. As I recall this also affected my ability to share printer on Win 10 PC.

I have tried everything that I know to correct this issue! But the fact of the matter is I can't fix this without having an idstore.sst file that supports the HomeGroup features and services it cannot be restored to it's proper configurations.
So how to turn-on HomeGroup without having the idstore.sst file in C:WindowsService ProfilesLocal ServiceAppDataRoamingPeer Networking folder????
Will Win. 10 not have the idstore file in it or what do I do to correct this??? It is the idstore.sst file that when deleted and re-starting of the system that enables it to renew the idstore.sst file and re-stores connectivity and enabling to the p2p.svc, PRNP.svc, and the Peer Networking Grouping.svc that allows Home Group to run properly. At this point I cannot enable these services without the idstore.sst file.

I have recently upgraded my workplace systems with windows 10. all the PC's except for one have been flawless.The last PC who created our homegroup has come up with an error. At first no matter what i did i couldn't get the other computers on the network to discover the PC even when connected to the homegroup. So i decided i would disconnect all the PC's from the homegroup and start again....
Once i had every PC left from the homegroup it now says the problem PC which created the homegroup in the first place is inviting me to join a homegroup!!! i now cannot connect even with the correct password and all the other PCS cannot connect to this ghost homegroup that no longer exists (or even the PC to that matter).
I have tried various fixes on the internet to no avail and i have used the method where you delete the files in C:WindowsService Profiles Local Service App DataRoamingPeerNetworking also to no avail... i now have every PC out of the homegroup and turned off and just this one PC.

I have a gaming machine at home that was running W7. I upgraded to W10. It went from W7 Ultimate to W10 Pro, which is fine. Not long after that, I ran into some issues that I was unable to correct, sfc /scannow was failing, and I couldn't get DISM to read the source files correctly to execute a repair.Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade
This was successful, and I thought I was on my merry way. Then after I was using it for a few minutes, it came up with a message that I didn't have an AV running. So, it pointed me to the AV control panel, but everything was greyed out. Then I went into update, and got the notorious "Some system settings are managed by your organization."I'm quite sure this is a group policy issue, but I'm confused as to why it just decided to clamp down on group policy when this machine isn't in a domain (it's in a workgroup). I then found some instructions that said to delete the GP directories and do "gpupdate /force". That didn't work either.

I've just moved house and isp. I am trying to connect my pc to my router via an ethernet switch.
At first my pc would not even connect to a network so deleted and reinstalled the ethernet drivers.
Managed after several attempts to change my network from public to private, but i still have no access to the network.

I am trying to connect my Windows 10 laptop to my Windows 10 PC. I have enabled all the sharing setup and both machines are detected but that is as far I can go. Each time I try to join the homegroup (on PC) I am told that no network exists. Both machines are on the same network system and work fine on the internet. I seem to be having laptop problems since Windows 10 was installed although the PC is OK.

I have an issue with my system after upgrading to Windows 10. I have work group at home with several PCs some with XP and other with 8, tables, and Windows 7. After the update, I checked the Group name and sure it was there, but when I tried to add a printer from one of the systems on the group, yes it is set to be share, I can not see it and looking under Network and groups a Home group was created using my system name. I cannot remove it and it doesn't seem to have joined the current work group.
I have tried changing the name, changing the share options under Network, and nothing. I just can't get the system to join the group as previous to the Win10 upgrade. I am actually considering doing an re-image of the system to get back wind7.

After updating my trusty 7 rig, I find that my homegroup has been ruined. My "old" home group is still being advertised as ready to join, but when I try to connect (from the same box it was created on with W7) it ultimately says: Windows no longer detects a Homegroup on this network. To create a new homegroup, click OK, and then open HomeGroup from control panel. When I do that, I get right back to the same place.
I have:
Deleted the Appdata under roaming
Started and stopped the homegroup and peer services.
Renamed my PC
I would create a totally new HomeGroup if I could, but I am not given the choice. My next step, once xBox users are off line, is to reset my Router.

I have my laptop at work and have had no trouble connecting the company WiFi (they have Guest WiFi and a WiFi where you need to enter your company provided Username and Password). I have been connecting using my Username and password. Today I had to change my company login password. Now when I try to connect my laptop I get a "can't connect" message because the password saved in my laptop is no longer valid. But I can't find a place in Win10 to enter my new password.
I remember the first time I logged onto the company WiFi a Windows popup came up asking for my Username and Password (which was saved so I didn't need to enter it again - until now). This time not getting the popup - it just says "can't connect".

When I open group policy editor, began with build 10547 and is still happening with 10565.
If I click OK, it disappears, then pops up a second time, click OK again and it's gone, can do whatever editing I need to and the edits stick, so it does seem to have compromised the editor, just more of an annoyance .

This notice appears each time the Group Policy editor is opened, and takes two clicks on OK to close. Simple steps to banish it?
Checked out this article, but was unable to rename the two files mentioned. I did delete them, however, and this removed the error message. What damage that did is ... to be discovered. ^_^ Files are in RECYCLE bin. [URL] ....

I recently upgraded from Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10 Pro. Each day I get a message that updates failed, with a 'Some settings are managed by your organization' message. I found a "fix" online that requires the use of gpedit.msc, but when I tried to run that I got a message "could not create the snap-in". This computer is stand-alone and has never been managed by any organization, so I am at a loss about what to do.

I have windows 10 now and my computer takes forever to go on my homepage. It says 'windows couldn't connect to group policy client services. prevents standard users from signing in'. It also takes a long time to sign out and google chrome takes forever to come up. Windows edge sometimes works a little faster. I wish I never accepted windows 10. My daughter moved away to university and I'll never be able to figure out how to fix this. I tried to use the windows 10 app 'contact support' but it didn't work.

Also searched this forum and have replied to similar posts - But here is a thread of my own.
I Setup a new PC for a friend on Saturday 28/11/15
Brand new desktop with Windows 10
Setup using a local Admin Account
2 days later - message appears on starting up (after the login prompt)
"Windows could not connect to the Group Policy Client service. This problem prevents standard users from logging on to the system."The the PC is slow to respond , would not open WLM or Chrome And takes 10mins to shutdown
Choose to hold the Shift Key and restart - Then Continue
Which fixes the issue - for a few reboots !!!!
Windows 10 has also updated to 1511 Threshold 2
Still occurs
I have tried - and with MS Chat assistance - and all have failed
1) New profile
2) SFC /Scannow
3) Clean Boot
I then read about and was also advised by MS of a registry change for grpsvc.I notice the issue is that Group Policy Client - does not have a status of "running".I checked a couple of windows 10 PCs and they all have the Status "running" although none had the registry entries recommended and all have worked fine for months.However, MS - updated and changed the registry and now we have the status of "running" next day it gave the message and problems returned This time I notice that the GPC status is blank again.Despite the registry changes - still having the issue - every day for 10days now with a reboot using the shift key fixes the issue and GPC is running again
I'm at a loss what to do next MS have said its not a windows problem and refused to further assist - and advised to go back to the OEM HP have said its a windows issue windows couldn't connect to group policy - Windows 10 Forums Which I may try and see if there is a space - but I have checked the registry now and it is now setup as the various GPC articles of course , if i do a clean factory reset - that will be removed

Since upgrading to Windows 10 a while back I receive the following message on start up:
Failed to connect to a Windows Service:

Is this a major problem which I need to get rectified and if so how ?

I use Outlook 2016 as my e-mail program and it has always worked great. A few days ago I noticed that I was not getting some e-mail that had been sent to me. I know this because the e-mail was sent to a group. I had one of the group members forward the e-mail to me. I checked everything out in that message and it was totally correct. As a matter of fact 10 minutes earlier that same sender had sent another group e-mail and I got that one. The e-mail sender checked to see that the message was sent and not bounced back for some reason.
The problem has gotten worse, yesterday I almost got no e-mail and I know that I was sent a bunch of stuff. I even went to my neighbor and sent myself a test e-mail and it did not arrive. I am pretty sure it is not my system causing the problem because I have an Android tablet and it does not get the e-mails either. The thing that really has me puzzled is I am still getting some e-mail, mainly from advertisers.
I contacted my Internet Service Provider yesterday to see if they are having some problem. They are checking into it but there is nothing they are aware about.

I have windows 10 pro and I have edited the group policy for windows update and has set it to notify me to download. My problem is that after a few days windows automatically download updates and install them though I had set it to notify to download. It seems that the settings are not permanent and windows resets the group policy settings. How can i make the settings permanent?
