For some reason i can't create a homegroup.
When i go to homegroup i get following message: HomeGroup is not ready yet. Please try again in a few minutes. If this message continues to appear, click the link to start HomeGroup troubleshooter.
Ofc the homegroupe troubleshooter sucks and does not work.

When i go to advanced settings and turn on network discovery and file and printing as soon as i click save the moment i go back to check the settings, network discovery is off again, i can't get network discovery on nor i'm able to create new homegroupe.
There is no homegroup in my network active.

Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

Check your services listing for 2 homegroup entries called homegroup listener and homegroup provider and make sure they are set to automatic or manual and not disabled.

Also do a sfc /scannow at an elevated command prompt.
 
when i try to start them i get error 1068

Ok, then run the sfc scan. Click on start, in the search box, type cmd, then right click on command prompt program and click on run as administrator. When command prompt loads, type sfc /scannow and hit enter. There is a space between the c and the /. This will check your system for missing system files.

From what I saw everything was fixed except for 1 item opencl.dll which is a video driver file. Reinstalling the video driver may help. Can you run the homegroup setup yet?
 
Well, what I would do in this case is use the install cd to repair the OS and see if it works. If not, you'll have to reinstall windows fresh.
 
Hopefully the repair works then so you don't have to reinstall windows. But sometimes that is unavoidable, unfortunately.
 
Well ive been only getting feedback from you, so thank you for that.
Maybe there are more geeks like us out there that might know a solution? without reinstalling/repairing windows itself :(
 
There would be no harm in repairing windows, you won't lose any data or programs. Its reinstalling windows that erases everything. I would try the repair first.
