    Mobile Hotspot doesn´t work / keeps loading after changes in network adapter


    Hello, I used the mobile hotspot and it worked fine.Then I unchecked some settings in the network adapter "Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter #2", because I thought I could speed up the connection by unchecking some settings like "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" I mean the settings shown in this screenshot. Now the mobile hotspot doesn´t work anymore and I can´t revert the settings because the Wi-Fi Direct network adapter doesn´t show anymore in the network connections like here.Now when I go to the mobile hotspot settings, it just keeps loading and doesnt show the On/Of

  2. Mobile Hotspot

    We appreciate that you have tried the suggested steps above. Have you tried to connect other devices to the mobile hotspot on your PC?

    Since the issue is still the same, we suggest that you uninstall/reinstall the network adapter driver and check if this will resolve the issue. Follow the steps below:


    • Press Windows key + X and click on
      Device manager
      .

    • Locate for Network adaptor and click on it expand it.

    • Right click on the device and click on
      uninstall
      .

    • Once you are done uninstalling the driver, restart the computer. It will automatically install the generic network adapter driver.

    We can also update the network adapter driver. Skip step 3 from the above steps and right click on the device and click on update.

    Feel free to post back for any updates.

  3. Mobile hotspot No network access

    Hi,

    To fix the issue, we suggest that you follow these steps:

    • Connect your PC to your WiFi.
    • Right-click on the WiFi tray and click on Open network and sharing center.
    • Click on Change adapter settings which is present at the left side of the window.
    • Right-click on your WiFi and click on Properties, then click on the
      Sharing tab.
    • Check the box next to Allow other network to connect through this computer's internet and
      Allow other network users to control or disable the shared internet and click
      OK.
    • Go to Settings > Network & Internet >
      Mobile Hotspot
      and turn it on.

    • After you turn on the hotspot, go back to the Change adapter settings window. You will find a connection called
      Local area connection* 20. The number 20 may differ.
    • Do step 4 again. In Sharing tab below the first checkbox, select the
      Local area connection* 20 from the drop-down.

    Regards.
