Windows 10 Mobile Hotspot Not working

Hi,

Your Bluetooth connection may be enabled which prevents you from setting up your mobile hotspot. To have this addressed, we suggest turning off the Bluetooth connection and see if you're able to set up your mobile hotspot. Follow these steps:

• Open Settings and select Devices.
• Click Bluetooth, then toggle it OFF.

Once done, check if you can now turn on your computer's mobile hotspot. Let us know how it goes.

Regards.

We appreciate that you have tried the suggested steps above. Have you tried to connect other devices to the mobile hotspot on your PC?

Since the issue is still the same, we suggest that you uninstall/reinstall the network adapter driver and check if this will resolve the issue. Follow the steps below:

• 
  Press Windows key + X and click on
  Device manager.
  
• 
  Locate for Network adaptor and click on it expand it.
  
• 
  Right click on the device and click on
  uninstall.
  
• 
  Once you are done uninstalling the driver, restart the computer. It will automatically install the generic network adapter driver.
  

We can also update the network adapter driver. Skip step 3 from the above steps and right click on the device and click on update.

Feel free to post back for any updates.

Hi Akeem,

There's a possibility that some settings were not properly set when the mobile hotspot was enabled on your computer. Let's look into the mobile hotspot settings and see if the internet connection is properly shared. Follow these steps:

• Open Settings > Network & Internet > Mobile hotspot.
• Turn on mobile hotspot.
• Under Related Settings, click Change adapter settings.
• Right-click the network adapter that is connected to the internet and click
  Properties.
• Click the Sharing tab and uncheck Allow other network users to connect through this computer's internet connection, then click
  OK.
• Right-click again the same network adapter and click Properties.
• This time, check the box Allow other network users to connect through this computer's internet connection.
• Under Home network connection, select the mobile hotspot adapter, then click
  OK.

Once done, try checking if your device connected to the mobile hotspot can now go online.

Update us with the result so we can further assist you.
