My PC upgraded to Windows 10 Pro version 1803 yesterday during automatic updates. This morning I attempted to view files in my network. Home Group is no longer available in this newest update. It seems in their wisdom they decided it was not needed and provided other solutions to share files/directories. I following the instructions to share files/directories via Windows Explorer. Guess what? You can not share directories only individual files at one time. This is not acceptable. After much trial and error I found a work around. As long as you have the name of the PC in your network you can enter "\PCNAME" and it should give you access. Bring back Home Group to the Windows operating system!

Glad I was able to help. Step 2 was my conservative approach (allow read only first before allowing full control second) so it can be skipped and you can go directly from step 1 to step 7. When I looked at my post, I see that I dropped my original steps 4-6 in what I posted as these were more "observational" steps showing what I saw and not what I did.
Regards,
