You need to delate the following file, reboot the machine then try to start the service, you should be able to get your Homegroup working after that.

"C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Roaming\PeerNetworking\idstore.sst"

You can fix other Homegroup problems using the trouble shooter.

You can try this Technet link that has some working solutions to this problem. You might try running a file scan to make sure none of your files are corrupted. Type sfc /scannow into your command prompt and hit enter, let the process run till complete.
