Windows 10: Mobile Hotspot on startup - Windows 11

I would like for my Desktop to open up a mobile hotspot by default. I live in a student-apartment where we get internet via an ethernet cable, it's starting to get annoying to go into settings each time my pc boots up to give my phone internet via a mobile hotspot. I tried the solution that pops up first on google for windows 10 but it doesn't work, I'm assuming it's because of the fact that it's Windows 11.

Turned Windows 10 Mobile Hotspot "ON" but not visible on devices..

have you followed all the steps? U might have missed something. Check out instructions mentioned here https://www.thurrott.com/windows/windows-10/71072/windows-10-tip-setup-mobile-hotspot

 

Windows not discovering mobile hotspot

I think you have already answered both of the other points I would have checked so I have nothing else useful to suggest -
- Your computer can detect other 2.4GHz networks/hotspots
- Other computers can detect your phone's 2.4GHz hotspot

I have deliberately altered some Windows settings to hide unwanted local networks [not just stop any connection to them but hide them from appearing in the list of available networks]. But you have not been taking similar measures or you would have said so.

As a final check, see if your phone's mobile hotspot appears in the list of detected networks using
NirSoft WiFiInfoView

Best of luck,

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.
