Windows 10: can't access internet through mobile hotspot.

i recently activated Mobile hotspot option in my windows 10 pro in my laptop.

but when i try to access the wifi from my mobile device ,it gives the message as "obtaining IP address" but it never connects.

i even tried with through other devices but the same problem occurs.

how can i connect to the mobile hotspot's internet access from my mobile phone?

:)

 

Mobile hotspot cannot be activated because "No internet access"

Although I have internet connection, network status shows "no internet access".

That prevents using Mobile Hotspot to share the internet connection because it says "We can't set up mobile hotspot because your PC doesn't have an Ethernet, WiFi or mobile data connection".

I do remember that I could enable Mobile Hotspot even if network status was showing "no internet access".

Besides, maybe I don't want to share internet connection but I want to use remote desktop? Who cares! Even if there is no internet connection, Mobile Hotspot should be able to share the active ethernet connection, without checking if it has an internet connection or not.
