Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. The Homegroup icon appears on the desktop for a reason. Specially if the network discovery is on. If it's still appearing on your desktop after unchecking it from the Desktop Icon settings, you can permanently disable it by turning off the network discovery option. Type services. It will open the Services Manager. Double click on the option then change their start up types from Manual to Disabled. Note that the Homegroup Provider service performs networking tasks associated with configuration and maintenance of Homegroups.
If this service is stopped or disabled, your computer will be unable to detect other Homegroups and your Homegroup might not work properly. The Homegroup Listener service makes local computer changes associated with configuration and maintenance of the Homegroup-joined computer.

Details required :. Cancel Submit. I had this same problem and was ready to edit my registry as instructed in another forum; however, I happened to run across a much more simple way to solve the problem. Merely push the start button on your computer and hold it down until the computer goes off. After a few seconds, restart and the homegroup icon is gone at least, mine was!!!
I don't know whether a mere reboot would work because I never tried. How satisfied are you with this reply? Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site.
