    Notes
    • To stop using a computer as a hub PC, go to your OneCare circle area, click the dropdown arrow next to Details, and then click Stop using this PC as a hub PC.
    • You can have more than one hub PC in your circle.
    • You can only perform remote actions from a hub PC when the two computers are on the same local network. You can't perform remote actions over the Internet.
    • After you perform an action, the list of Actions to take is updated automatically on the hub PC and on the other computer.
    • If you remove a computer from your circle, it will no longer appear on the list of computers on your hub PC.

    As you can see from the text above from Microsoft they ask you to click on the sropdown arrow next to Details, my problem is I cannot see the dropdown arrow or even Details.

     

    Any help will be great.

     

    Thanks in advance

    To stop using a PC as a hub, on the hub PC open One Care>Manage Your One Care Circle and under your hub PC select "Stop using this PC as a Hub PC".

    You must have a minimum of two PCs to form a One Care Circle. The purpose of the hub PC in a One Care Circle is to monitor the status of all the PCs in the One Care Circle. Because you have only one PC associated with your One Care subscription you don't have the option to make a PC a hub and therefore don't have the option to stop using the PC as a hub. You shouldn't have any issues changing the status of any of your computers from hub PCs to non-hub PCs when you add additional computers to your One Care Circle.

    I did in fact have the option of making my PC the hub PC, when I clicked on it I went to my hotmail address and password, when i entered it i never saw that option again.
