Windows 10: "Microsoft Hosted Network Virtual Adapter is missing in device manager, Hosted network...

1. Microsoft Hosted Network Virtual Adapter is missing in device manager,

2. Hosted network support: No in the Command Prompt, and

3. Hotspot not working.

May I ask Who is still experiencing these kinds of problems?

It seems this occurred right after your Windows got updated and it just surprises you all of a sudden when the Hotspot is not working.

Microsoft hosted network virtual adapter missing from device manager

I have the same problem since 3 months.

the hosted network was working perfectly then suddenly stooped making WiFi spot. I opened the device manager where I saw that Microsoft hosted network virtual adapter was not active. I tried different way to fix the problem and without benefit. then I decided
it to uninstall and reinstall hosted network virtual adapter and since that time Microsoft hosted network virtual adapter is not appearing in my device manager.

I have been in contact with Microsoft and someone of the technical support got access to my laptop and tried to fix the problem but unfortunately he doesn't have any idea about this problem.

 

microsoft hosted network virtual adapter

Hi Sayan,

I too, had uninstalled the Microsoft Hosted Network Virtual Adapter, since I was unable to create a hotspot from the computer. After restarting, I was hoping for the adapter to be visible/present in the device manager, as it happens when we
uninstall a USB Controller.

However, after restarting, the adapter is not seen in the Network adapters list, and also not found under the
Other list, as you suggested above. This was checked after enabling view for hidden devices. Also, there is
no yellow alert symbol near any adapter.

I have also restored the computer to an earlier restore point, but the adapter is still not seen !

Since, the Microsoft Hosted Network Virtual Adapter itself is not found in the list, there is no way to update the driver software for it.

Hotspot creation has worked for me many times since I've upgraded to Windows 10, and I need it to keep working as before.

Request you to help !

Thank you.

Also, Microsoft Hosted Network Virtual Adapter is not associated with a hardware, is it ?
