Hello, Jim.
We're here to help. Did you disable AVG firewall temporarily and check if the connection is allowed? If you have not yet, open AVG Internet Security, click on Menu > settings > Components. Scroll down to firewall component and use the On/Off slider to disable it.
I recently had to recover my windows 7 laptop. After reinstalling AVG Internet Security unlimited for 2018 I can't seem to connect to the homegroup anymore. I have read what is on here, made sure all network profile is private and enabled all security rules. Windows still says problem is AVG firewall. Also, I no longer have the avg Icon on the program icon on the desktop.
