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.

mobile hotspot enabling

Q: Hello everyone, i have a problem with creating a hotspot on windows 10. Every time i try to turn it on it says "We can't set up mobile hotspot."

My original problem was to allow internet usage via the mobile hotspot , but it wouldn't.

I managed to somehow set a 'Disable' switch which turned off the ability to switch on the Mobile hotspot.

I cannot get back to that setting to enable it again.

Help??
