Wi-Fi virtual adapter

I am unable to create a wi-fi hotspot on my laptop (HP pavillion ab-032tx model) after upgrading to windows 10. I cannot find Microsoft WI-Fi direct Virtual adapter in the listed adapters (control pannel->network sharing center) . However Microsoft Wi-Fi
direct Virtual adapter and Microsoft Wi-Fi direct Virtual adapter #2 are listed in hidden drivers (device manager-> view tab, faded icons). Upon checking for hardware changes, there are no unkown devices being shown. Microsoft Wi-Fi direct Virtual adapter
#3 is also found in the view tab , but its icon is not faded. All my drivers are updated. Still i am unable to create a hotspot. Pl help me with the same.

 

Missing the "Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter". Where to install?

I seem to be missing "Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter " on a laptop. I've already enabled "Show Hidden Devices" in the Device Manager, and it's not listed.

The reason I need it: I want to project laptop # 1 onto that laptop. I'm getting an error message "We're still trying to determine the feature capabilities" error message when I try to to project to laptop #2. The system requirements, including Windows
build version, seem to be sufficient. The Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter seems to be the only thing I'm missing.
