The other day I said to my dad that I would update his laptop to 8.1 and today I finally got around to doing it. On my PC, I am not a member of any Homegroups as I only own one computer so I don't need that feature. I took my dad's laptop, connected it to my wi-fi network and updated it to 8.1. I removed the laptop from the default Homegroup as my dad doesn't use that feature either and then I turned the laptop off.
When I went back to my PC, his laptop was showing up in File Explorer on my desktop under "This PC". I right-clicked and chose "Remove this device", but it didn't disappear until I rebooted my system.
Anyone know why this would happen? I've never had another computer that's connected to my wi-fi network show up under "Computer" in File Explorer in Windows 8, but this is the first time I've had 2 Windows 8.1 machines connected to the same wi-fi network.
