    How to remove a Homegroup, when a pc is dead


    One of my three Windows 10 pc's crashed yesterday and is now completely dead.

    This gives me problems with the Homegroup. All info I can find says leave the Homegroup with all connected pc and make a new Homegroup.
    This is easy with the two alive pc's, but no with the dead one.

    Therefore how to remove a Homegroup completely (or other good suggestions)

    Hi,
    What happened to the other computer ?

    It should just be a matter of creating a new home group on one machine and entering it on the second with the password the first one generated.
