Logon failure to computer in Homegroup
I have a desktop and laptop PC - both recently upgraded (without my permission) to Windows 10. The desktop was previously running Windows 7 and the laptop Windows 8. I have created a homegroup and both PCs have joined it. All sharing options are turned on. I was previously sharing a printer that is connected to the desktop with the laptop and all was well. After the upgrade, I could no longer print from either PC. After reinstalling the printer on the desktop, I can now print from that PC but the laptop will not see the printer. I did the following:
1) Open Control Panel, Devices and Printers, Add a Printer
2) Windows searches for devices and finds none
3) Click on "The printer that I want isn't listed"
4) Click on "Select a shared printer by name", then click "Browse"
5) Windows displays the names of the desktop and laptop PCs
6) Click on the desktop PC and the following message appears:
VOSTRO not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource.
Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer.
Suggestions?
NOTE:
On both PCs, when I select Control Panel, Homegroup the following message is displayed:
HomeGroup found a new shared printer on your home network. Installing it will make it available to everyone on this computer.
When I click on "Install printer" on either PC, nothing happens.
Also, when I view homegroups on the network, there are two of them - one using the name of the administrator on the desktop and one using the name on the laptop. I'm not wanting to share anything from the laptop. Should I delete the homegroup using the name from the laptop? If so, how?
