Given that there seems to be little interest from the Microsoft Software Engineers who monitor this forum I would urge everyone to report this issue at

Well, mine is still going to sleep (so far) waiting for HP to call me. Probably MS is having a difficult time to figure out what went wrong. If they know about it.
The insomniac computer failed to go to sleep again. It seems that the HomeGroup solution is a step in the right direction but can't be relied upon.
I give up!
Where is Microsoft?
I have been in contact with HP's support, and their case managers are suppose to call me within the next few days. My impression in conversing with them they will be forwarding the information to MS. So far in the last few days my computer has gone into sleep mode properly without the home groups. I guess we shall see.
The IPV6 I have tried on two occasions and that hasn't worked for me. The only solution after several numerous days and tries is to disconnect from the homegroup.
Difficult for me with so many having this problem, that it didn't show up on there trials.
It has been 24 hours and for the most part leaving the HomeGroup seems to work.
Would be nice if someone from Microsoft would acknowledge that this is an issue and that they are working on it. Meanwhile I'll keep looking for a "solution" that allows to rejoin the HomeGroup.
