Windows 10: Hosted Network Supported is No, and I need it to be Yes

Hello,



I moved to Germany and have been using a VPN network to get American TV shows, and then creating a mobile hotspot on my laptop to connect to a Google Chromecast dongle. I left Germany for a few months, and when I came back all of the sudden I was unable to connect to the mobile hotspot network. I have tried everything I can, and I'm out of ideas. I have searched online for this issue, and I have made sure all of my drivers are updated, I have rolled back updates (someone said this fixed the problem) I have uninstalled drivers and let them reinstall, but nothing seems to work. Typically when I would turn on the mobile hotspot, the wifi logo in my taskbar would change to the icon for a LAN connection, but it doesn't do that anymore. The network gets created, but when I connect devices to it it says "Connected, no Internet"



I would love any suggestions!!!



Thank you so much,

Phil

Hosted network support not available on Surface Book2

The new wlan network cards for Windows 10 do not support the hosted network because Windows has provided the mobile hotspot feature in its place. So network adapter manufacturers no longer provide
drivers to support the hosted network.

You can still use the network hosted in Windows 10 on those old network cards where there is the appropriate driver for this feature.Read here: Why Hosted and Ad-Hoc Networks Are Not Working on Windows® 10

Try changing the driver manually:

1) Go to Device Manager> Network Cards, select the card in use, choose "Update Driver"

2) Select "Search for driver software on your computer"

3) Select "Choose from a list of drivers available on your computer"

4. Two or more drivers will be listed, select a different driver from the one currently used on your computer, then install it.

If you do not resolve, try to contact the manufacturer of your network card and ask if they can suggest an appropriate driver that supports the hosted network.

Otherwise you have to opt for the mobile hotspot.
