Hi Folks
Are there known compatibility issues with running homegroup alongside the hyper-v role under Windows 8.1?
I have been running the hyper-v role on my PC with no issues, however yesterday I enabled homegroup to share files on my home network, this worked perfect until a reboot.
On reboot at the log-on screen the network icon shows no internet connectivity (explanation mark) and then after a few seconds the PC totally freezes.
The only way I can stop the PC locking at the log-on screen is to disable the 'HomeGroupListener' and 'HomeGroupProvider' services. Now I am working again, all be it without homegroup.
I am suspecting that homegroup is having compatibility problems with how hyper-v takes over and manages the networking adapters?
Can anyone confirm?
Note: I am not trying to run a homegroup from within virtual machines, I have enabled this on the host PC that has the hyper-v role.
Thanks
