Windows 10: Microsoft WiFI Miniport adapter Missing issue.

Heyy..

I have an issue regarding an adapter of Microsoft WiFi miniport adapter.

Previously on my windows 7 Microsoft WiFi miniport adapter was installed when i started a hostednetwork(or a hotspot) through cmd.

But as i upgraded to windows 10(Presently I have windows 10 Pro..Edition 1511..Os Build 10586.420 installed in my pc) When Type following commands(without quotes) in cmd(as an admin)

"netsh wlan show drivers"

It shows

"Hostednetwork Supported: Yes"

That means I can Create a hotspot.

But When I check in my network connections window(in Control Panel) it shows a driver named as "Local Area Connection2".

Although hotspot is created, it never shares internet of my WiFi network(As I have network Connection by means of WiFi using Tp-Link USB Wireless adapter) I am unable to share my internet connection thorugh WiFi.

But As I said before, in windows 7 it shared internet connection through WiFi.

Also When i had checked before in network connections it showed a Microsoft Virtual Wireless Network connection and driver installed is Microsoft WiFi miniport adapter.

So I have a Question as "Does Microsoft WiFi miniport adapter is available for windows 10?"
And If yes there send me a link for downloading it.
And if not try helping me to fix it out.
Waiting for a Reply.

Microsoft WiFi miniport adapter missing issue in Windows 10.

First of all, thank you for your reply.

But in case, this didn't help me out.

I tried all the steps but the results were the same as before.

Actually I don't have an issue accessing the Microsoft Wi-Fi miniport adapter on my device(PC), instead i don't have that adapter installed in my device.

Besides when I check my network connection, it shows an adapter installed(when hostednetwork is started through cmd) in my device. It shows an "Local Area Connection with Microsoft Hostednetwork Virtual Adapter installed."

Here what I want to say is, as before in my windows 7, in network connections, it showed "Wireless Network Connection with Microsoft Miniport adapter installed."

"So I wanted to ask whether Microsoft Miniport adapter is still available for windows 10?"

As I am not facing problem to access Microsoft virtual adapter, but I want the adapter which was available earlier(like in windows 7).

And the problem is that by using the adapter installed currently( Microsoft Hostednetwork Virtual adapter)

I cant access internet on my other devices through WiFi, As Current adpapter don't shares internet through WiFi.

Also when I open properties of my WiFi connection, then in sharing tab when I check th box as mentioned in figur it shows an error.



And also Under home networking connection drop-down list,

It shows only three options as "Select a private network connection/Local area connection/ethernet".

Here I want to share my internet through WiFi, which is not listed.

I hope you may get my query and help me out for an working solution.

Waiting for the reply.
