Windows 10: Annoying Mobile Hotspot bug makes it turn off

Hi, I use a lot the Mobile Hotspot function in my desktop, but there's a really annoying bug that makes it turn off after a few minutes ONLY the first time you turn it on in a session.

This has nothing to do with power saving settings or auto turn off, or my specific PC, since I've tried most tutorials out there and still happens, with all of my PCs/laptops. The process is this one:

1. I turn on my desktop/laptop
2. I turn on the Mobile Hotspot using the sidebar action center
3. My smartphone successfully connects and everything works fine
4. After 2-3 minutes, the Mobile Hotspot turns off
5. I turn it on again and after this second start it works as it should
6. It stays turned on forever, hours, days, no devices connected, as long as I don't restart or turn off the PC, it will stay on.

It's been like this for years and update after update, Microsoft still does not fix it once and for all. What can we do?

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.

Projecting to this PC with Mobile Hotspot turned on ?

Hi.

I'm on Windows 10 Pro version 1909 trying to cast my Android phone to Windows 10 with Mobile Hotspot turned on.

The phone is connected to the internet with Windows 10 Mobile Hotspot, but the screen cast is only is working when Mobile Hotspot is turned off.

Is there a way to screen cast with Mobile Hotspot turned on ?

Thanks in advance for any feedback.
