WTF is Homegroup?


Recommended Posts

My laptop has been running slow as shit all day today, and I keep getting (not responding) for numerous programs. Also, all sound has decided to quit as well. Just an hour ago, this fucking Homegroup icon appeared on my desktop.

How did this program install itself without my approval?

Could it be the cause of my computer running like shit?

I doubt it, but could it affect my speakers?

I'll probably just take it to Geek Squad, but still pissed that Windows sees it fit to just drop shit on personal computers without permission.

No updates that I know of. Its running slow as fuck right now though, and I have no sound.

Shits all jumpy, can't open more than a couple windows without the damn thing freezing for minutes before I can do anything.

Figures the shit goes down the week I have Team lead on a school project.

Finally figured it out. Apparently the auto update yesterday added a few extensions and plugins. Closed all extensions and almost all plugins. Puter is back up to speed now.

Oh, the Homegroup icon on my desktop disappeared just as mysteriously as it appeared.

Yeah Miguel, the weekly update. Never had these issues arise though. Thought it was the Homegroup thing because it popped up the same time the problems began.

Anyway, would be nice if I had a choice to approve or deny updates before they automatically land on my computer.
