how can i fix error code 2147500037

Hi there.  I cannot believe that this discussion is 12 pages long, several years old and has not yet been resolved.

I have just bought a surface book with Windows 10 and with Edge as the default browser.  I have come up with the same problem the original guy had when try to print out my home group password and details.

Surely it is a straight forward item to fix?   One shouldn't need a work around.  Also Microsoft now need to get it to work with Edge - you shouldn't have to revert to an earlier browser.

Let's hope it gets fixed soon!

Amen!  Maybe in 2017.

I had the same error code 2147500037, the easiest way round that I found was a simple screen print into word and print my homegroup password from there, I use Firefox as well and won't change it

It does not surprise me that this topic has been going on for so long, I had a similar issue with a much earlier MS operating system in the 80's. I spend hours, over a period of many months trying to work round a problem for the network I ran. Eventually attended a meeting at which Microsoft was present and asked a representative about it. His reply was that it had never worked. "What was going to be done about it?" - "Nothing". I came very close to hitting him! Clearly the customer unfriendly, couldn't care less, attitude still persists today and if anyone expects any change after almost 30 years of building on it, then it would appear to be wishful thinking. 

Sadly it appears that this attitude is migrating to Apple who used to put usability and customer service first.

They should get back to it before it's too late.

John, I am shocked and disappointed to hear this.  Does Microsoft look at these comments or do we just become bitter and twisting amongst ourselves because nothing is done?!!!!

I am being hopeful that they are watching and will finally do something  - especially if it is still a problem in their most up to date software.  Otherwise I am not very impressed.

Doubtful.
