Update: "This computer can not join/create homegroup"
I've tried trouble shooters for homegroup and network
I've tried enable ipv6
I've tried making sure all necessary tasks are "running" in the services section of the network and sharing center
I've tried making sure all my advanced homegroup settings were correct.
I've tried disabling all homegroups on all other pcs
I've tried finding the idstore.sst file to delete it(which doesn't exist on win10?)<<<fixed
I've tried updating all network drivers.
I've tried from a wireless network and hardlined
all other computers can create and use homegroups other than my main pc.
I also can not share folders, access is restricted somehow.
UPDATE: both Peer Name Resolution Protocol (can't access key) and Peer Networking Grouping fail to start , I edited the log on info to all be the same (using methods described in link below) when I edited the info for Peer Networking Identity Manager it did inform me of saved changes, the only one to do so. PNIM is the only one of the three working.
Some found this useful, hope you do to!
Peer networking grouping service isnt running is the message. How - Microsoft Community
this seems to be a Microsoft issue and I hope dearly for a fix soon. a shame it happened to my main pc and none of the other side ones in my house.
UPDATE: I am trying to use Process Monitor to see which Key it can't access but I'm not entirely sure on what I'm looking for
found this which told me what to do but not what I'm looking for
Cant start the Peer Name Resolution Protocol service
FINAL UPDATE!!!!! the final solution in the link below fixed my homegroup. it still saw an old homegroup from a secondary pc that didn't exist. but I just recreated the same homegroup on the secondary pc and viloa! I really hope we compiled most of the answers to homegrouping issues here. perhaps make this thread sticky??
