Windows 10: How to enable a hosted network on windows 10?

I'm trying to enable a hosted adhoc network on Windows 10. I used the powershell to create the hosted network but now I can not get it to enable.

I use the command:

netsh wlan start hostednetwork

I get a resource unavailable error.


What am I doing wrong?

Share Files and Folders Over a Network in Windows 10


Hi Brink great tutorial as usual.

I could not help but notice in step 1 you say to enable " Function Discovery Resource Publication "

In most of the posts I have read on Ten Forums they also suggest to enable " Function Discovery Provider Host "

Are you suggesting that Function Discovery Provider Host is not necessary.

 

Hosted network not supported and hosted network driver is not visible after windows 10 upgrade

My laptop is dell and my phone is lenovo. It was all working fine before the windows upgrade. I have tried all the above mentioned steps. It says hosted network status not available and hosted network is not supported when i use "netsh wlan show drivers"...
in my network adapters "microsoft hosted network adapter" is missing even after enabling show hidden devices. My drivers are from "broadcom".
