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!

2018-09-21T18:33:13+00:00 Homegroup is gone. Suggested alternative is One Drive.
We're in a very rural area and up until recently, metered internet.
Beyond that, we should have personal choice as to whether we share our files in the cloud or locally.
very bad move MS, as much as I hate Apple, that's the first place I'm going to look. You just brought my business to its knees not to mention trashing my time and productivity

I agree, MS really screwed up. It hasn't been the first time and it wont be the last. Using One Drive is a B.S. solution. I posted a solution that works earlier on this thread that a few have used. I suggest that you look at it.
