    How to keep windows from eating my hotspot


    I haven't used windows since vista but i remember it being really bad about every time it hooked up to an internet connection it was throttling everything looking for updates etc. I have windows 10 now, a faster computer (not much) but an extremely limited hotspot (10gigs. Limited by laptop standards)

    I need it for updating my linux VMs, i dont want it gobbling up all my data the way Android does every time i connect. But i do want it available when I say i want it to be used. What should i do.

    Windows not discovering mobile hotspot

    I think you have already answered both of the other points I would have checked so I have nothing else useful to suggest -
    - Your computer can detect other 2.4GHz networks/hotspots
    - Other computers can detect your phone's 2.4GHz hotspot

    I have deliberately altered some Windows settings to hide unwanted local networks [not just stop any connection to them but hide them from appearing in the list of available networks]. But you have not been taking similar measures or you would have said so.

    As a final check, see if your phone's mobile hotspot appears in the list of detected networks using
    NirSoft WiFiInfoView

    Best of luck,
    Denis
