Windows 10: How to turn on windows 10 hotspot remotely using bluetooth

I have an android phone paired up with my windows 10 laptop. How can I turn on the hotspot on my laptop using my android phone via bluetooth?

[Mobile Hotspot] Turn on remotely. Guide and tips needed.

Hi,

Yes I know how to use Mobile Hotspot. It's being used daily.

What I don't know is how that "Turn on remotely" feature should work.

Bluetooth paired (as guided) device can't find my phone nor turn on my Hotspot.

 

How can I remotely turn on a mobile hotspot?

Hi all! This is an old question that has yet to be answered so I am reposting it here.

How can I remotely turn on a mobile hotspot?

I use the mobile hotspot a lot to share my internet connection through wifi. However, I have never quite figured out how I can use the "Turn on remotely" function.

In my case, I have a Surface Pro 4 and a Dell venue 8 pro, both running Windows 10 x64. They have already been connected by bluetooth. So how can I use my Dell venue 8 pro to turn on the mobile hotspot on the SP4 without me having to reach for the SP4?

Thanks.

 

You can't.

If your laptop has Windows 10 PRO, you can do it with remote desktop connection, Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection app for Android free download see Part Seven in this tutorial: RDC - Connect Remotely to your Windows 10 PC

Remote Desktop connection to Windows 10 Home is not supported.

 

So this feature is useless?

 

My previous post is based on my own experience. I have never managed to turn a Windows 10 PC hotspot on from any Android device using anything else than remote desktop connection. On Windows 10 Mobile it works.

You can of course try it, would be nice to know it works. I have nothing against admitting I am wrong, I am just saying that as far as I am concerned this is a feature I've never managed to get working.

 

No offences meant. I was just asking.

 

None taken. I mean, this is a new feature in Windows 10 which should work. All I mean when saying it can't be done is based on my own experience. I know I am not the sharpest pencil in a drawer, the reason I can't get it working might just be my own stupidity or inability to understand instructions.

Mentioning remote desktop as a possible workaround is based on the fact that it always works: connect remotely to a Windows 10 PC, turn hotspot on and that's it.

 

IMHO, Remote desktop would surely need internet access in the mobile, which is what I am trying to achieve here.
