Windows 10: I can connect to hotspot if I generate the hotspot from my mobile phone however, I cannot...

I have windows 10 on my PC. I can connect to hotspot if I generate the hotspot from my phone however, I find it difficult to connect to any public WiFi network. I have tried all I know to connect to public WiFi but all to no avail whereas connect to mobile phone hotspot is very easy. How do I resolve this issue?

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,

Windows not discovering mobile hotspot

My phone is Android.
I have tried leaving the mobile hotspot screen open on my phone while scanning/connecting the the laptop. But it doesn't work.
Bluetooth connection is fine.
I even tried reinstalling my Windows 64 bit, but surprisingly problem is not solved.

I am wondering why my laptop detects mobile hotspot except my mobile hotspot.
And why my mobile hotspot is discoverable by any device except my laptop.

 

Windows not discovering mobile hotspot

Hello everyone,
I have been connecting my mobile hotspot with my laptop wifi for more than 3 months, but recently I faced a problem.
My laptop is unable to discover my mobile phone's hotspot. But my laptop can discover other mobile phone's hotspot.

Again, my mobile hotspot is discoverable by any other devices except my laptop.

I have done the following things but it failed to solve the problem:
1. I clicked "forgot" my mobile hotspot network under wifi settings/mange known network in my laptop.
2. I have uninstalled my laptop's wifi driver and reinstalled a new one.
3. I have checked for updates and installed all the updates shown in my laptop.
4. I have factory rest my phone.

I use Windows 10 in my laptop.
Anyone who can suggest me anything about the problem?
