You can still access them by sharing folders on the PC and then, in explorer, access the PC by \\pcname\foldername

Switch to Windows 10 Pro. No homegroup but it’s easy to do yourself. Or get a Win 10 Enterprise VL from your employer or Win 10 Academic from your school. All pretty much the same.

Microsoft is just reminding us that we don’t really own our computers.

>>Any 3rd party inexpensive networking software or work-arounds that can solve a small office computing networking issue?

I am SO happy they got rid of that home group garbage. When they first introduced it I was scratching my head about it. It’s such a pain.

Any lawyers here want to help in a class-action suit against Microsoft?

This is going to ruin many people and their businesses

Being on the cloud is wonderful for those who trust everyone, including Nigerian Princes.

I’ve disabled everything to do with the cloud on my machines.

“Sneakernet”

I have a flash drive with that very word on it. It makes many trips each week from upstairs to downstairs ... up - down - up - down. No cloud for us, either.

Yeah, share the folders and then use UNC file paths. Home groups were antiquated.

There is no cloud. You're just using someone else's server.

Just FYI, CNET is a notorious malware distributor. PUPs in pretty much every package.

What functionality is missing? The removal is supposed to leave the private network file shares in place.
