Leaving Homegroup
I was operating two computers on a wired network each running Win 7 that I have upgraded to Win 10. Most seems to be Ok but I have problems trying to get access from the one computer to a printer connected to the second computer. Here is a summary of the actions I have taken:
1. Use add a printer and select a shared printer by name. it asks for a a password for the computer to which the printer is connected (HomeGroupUser$).
2. The homegroup password seems to reside on an old machine that I no longer have connected and there is no option to leave or reset the homegroup password.
3. I tried adjusting the advanced network connection options but that did not make any difference.
How can I reset or disconnect all machines from the homegroup and then reconnect them. I uninstalled the printer driver and re-installed it. I believe file sharing is working correctly and the printer was accessible from both machines in Win7.
