Can't connect Windows 10 laptop to iPhone 7 mobile hotspot

I had the same issue when upgrading from iPhone 5s to iPhone 7. What I did was to go to Windows Settings - Network & Internet. Click on Wi-Fi, and go into Manage know networks. Find your iPhone and tell it to "Forget". Then go to your Wi-Fi connections list
and try to reconnect by finding your phone in your list of Wi-Fi connections on your computer. Make sure that you have Personal Hotspot turned on in your settings on your iPhone as well. This time it should allow you to put in your password.

 

Can't connect Windows 10 laptop to iPhone 7 mobile hotspot

My husband and I each have a laptop and a smartphone, but none of them run the same OS. My laptop is running Windows 7, his laptop is running Windows 10, my smartphone is running Android (latest version), and his smartphone is an iPhone 7.

We're trying to set up our mobile hotspots on the smartphones. Both laptops connect to my Android hotspot, but only my laptop connects to the iPhone 7's hotspot.
He needs to connect his Windows 10 computer to the iPhone 7's mobile hotspot. The laptop finds the wireless network connection on the list, but it won't even give him an opportunity to enter a password. It goes straight to "Cannot connect."
A Google search turns up lots of advice for previous incarnations of iPhones and Windows, but none for the iPhone 7 and Windows 10. He had all this set up properly with his Windows 7 machine and his iPhone 4, and then he upgraded to Windows 10 and bought the
iPhone 7, and now he can't connect, and he needs this for work.

Here's what else we know so far. Both Windows 10 and the iOS have been updated and restarted today. The network troubleshooting on Windows 10 turned up nothing. The phone is new, and the computer was new with Windows 7 and is running Intel, so I highly doubt
it's the hardware. After reading a user's post on another forum, we tried to look at the hidden devices on his laptop and disable some sort of WiFi network adapter and it wasn't even present on the list. After reading another user's post, we tried to download
some kind of driver from Microsoft, but we couldn't confirm the right thing to download so we didn't do anything with that. Yes, we double-checked the password and all the WiFi settings are good.

What are we missing?

 

Win10 Laptop Can't Connect to New iPhone 11

Just upgraded from iPhone 6s. USB connection sees all photos on the 6. But on the 11, usb connection shows barely 1 dozen out of thousands of photos. Laptop does not have iTunes installed. I connected both once by Bluetooth which went as expected but I didn't know what to do in Windows so I shut down overnight. Now in Bluetooth, iPhone 11 says it sees laptop and it's connected, but Win 10 laptop cannot see iphone device at all, but does see neighbors' devices, does not show iPhone 11 as either a drive or as a network device. Is there some Win10 registry sabotage here? Did I somehow tell Win10 never to see or connect to this iphone? Any ideas about how to get full connectivity? I've cold booted both devices repeatedly. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
