Hello after last update 1803 it removed homegroup, I had 3 PCs(sometimes more than 20) with same windows build, but one pc acted as server which another 2 pcs(sometimes more than 20) could connect it and Read/Write and use printer, but how to do now? There is possibility sharing specific link generated for folder, but thats no solution, since I could connect to server pc using file exploler it showed my server pc in list and I just clicked on it, what I can do now, since I need printer access and easy file sharing.

if you have the share properly set up in computer management you can just type \\<IP ADDRESS OR HOSTNAME>\SharedFolder and you can access the directory. You might need to provide the username and password for whoever is allowed to access the folder. Printers can be accessed in the same way.
