Windows 10 Mobile Hotspot Not working

Hi,

Your Bluetooth connection may be enabled which prevents you from setting up your mobile hotspot. To have this addressed, we suggest turning off the Bluetooth connection and see if you're able to set up your mobile hotspot. Follow these steps:

• Open Settings and select Devices.
• Click Bluetooth, then toggle it OFF.

Once done, check if you can now turn on your computer's mobile hotspot. Let us know how it goes.

Regards.

 

Turn on Mobile Hotspot via Bluetooth

I found that using a hotspot on my phone I can provide an internet connection in the field, but how do I switch on mobile hotspot on the mini pc with bluetooth? As mentioned above, I do not see the mini pc in my wifi list.
