how can i fix error code 2147500037

Thanks but, I'm not doing development or Message Queuing - unless MS does it by default when trying to place the "Print HomeGroup" report in the printer queue. 

The account I'm logged into is a member of the Administrators Group so there should be no issues with permissions, although I'm not 100% sure MS acknowledges that membership as I've had to "Run as Administrator" on the install package of many of the apps I've installed to get it installed correctly.

I do not have MQExplorer installed nor do I want to pay for it to test to see if MQseries is the potential fix - Sorry, MQseries is the OpenVMS equivalence to IBM's MQExplorer.

In addition MS made wrong several user rights with Windows 10. Ex.: After upgrading to W10 I was not able to save a file to a subdirectory of my own Documents directory. I had right to write only in Documents itself. I discovered the same case in Pictures, ...

And I still don't have right to open my own directory:

Desktop/<My user name>/Documents

Instead a message is given:

"Jelenleg nem rendelkezik a mappa eléréséhez szükséges engedéllyel. A Folytatás gombra kattintva állandó hozzáférést kaphat a mappához."

I don't know what would be the message in English, but something similar to:

"At the moment you don't have rights to reach the folder. Push Continue button to get permanent access to the directory."

This message is got in spite I did not modify its user rights!

So the problem is more general than printing Home Group's password with Edge for example.

Hello,

Thank you for the Update on related issue.

If OP (original post) writer would not reply with the details then how can we reach the conclusion. Please do not blame Microsoft or Internet Explorer unnecessarily and without any research. What you thinking is just an assumption. We certainly like if our valuable users use our programs but it bring no good to our program by enforcing users to uninstall third party program.

Please think other way around, Internet Explorer and Windows shares system files and if would be obvious if Windows need Internet Explorer active during course of troubleshooting.

Please feel free to reply, in case you face any other issues with Windows in future.     

Shivam,

The research you claim I should do really falls on MS to perform.  I've given you the problem, now it's up to you(MS) to find the solution.  And, any good engineer should know how to perform Analytical Problem Solving to determine what IS and IS NOT the problem.

Problem: User cannot print Homegroup password using a browser other than IE as their default browser.

Now as part of YOUR(MS) research you need to perform the following (not all inclusive) tasks.

1. Install Firefox
2. Make it your DEFAULT browser
3. Attempt to print Homegroup password
4. Diagnose the problem
5. Correct the problem
6. Repeat Steps 1-5 for Chrome, Firefox Nightly (64bit), SeaMonkey, Safari, Opera, ...

Since you and only you have access to the source code, YOU(MS) must accept responsibility to correct this problem.

There may be workarounds, like the previous post but, that's all they are, workarounds, not a solution.

... and repeat all the points for the brand new Edge.

Hi Eddie,

1. Could you please let me know if other print job works fine? Could you print a document from Word or NotePad?
2. Is this the complete error message "Your homegroup password couldn't be printed

An error occurred while Windows was trying to print your homegroup password. (Error code: 2147500037)" you are getting?

If yes, then this error is displayed when Internet Explorer is not your default web browser. To fix this error, and allow you to print your homegroup password, you first need to set Internet Explorer as your default web browser. Instructions on how to do this can be found in the following mini-guide:

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/make-ie-default-browser#ie=ie-9

After that, please refer to the steps in the following link to create a new homegroup:

HomeGroup from start to finish

This error occurs even if my default browser is the brand new Edge! I don't understand why Microsoft is incompatible with itself!!!

Please, no disrespect intended or implied...  Workarounds are NOT an option.  We know all of them and have, at some point, taken advantage of each of them.  What we are after in this thread is to have M$ fix this single requirement that forces us to use IE for this transaction.  I, and many others, choose NOT to use IE as our default browser or browser whatsoever.  There are many other browsers that are much more robust and more secure as well.

We have NOT received a single intelligent answer from M$ or an intelligent explanation as to why they can or cannot correct this single requirement for us to use IE to simply print the Homegroup password.

(Sound of crickets from M$...)

Workaround: Use windws "snipping tool", than print from there.
