    non working windows 10 mobile hotspot


    the problem is about a week old, in that time I have tried to get help from Microsoft support. my laptops fully connected to the internet and the hotspot is visible to other devices but when I try to get them to connect. a relative let me borrow theirs for a bit to confirm that the problem was on my end but I can't use it enough for my purposes. If anyone can help me, please do, the steps I have tried from the support people are below


    Open Mobile hotspot settings (Settings > Network & Internet > Mobile hotspot)
    Turn on mobile hotspot
    Under "Related Settings", click Change adapter options
    Take note of which adapter is connected to the internet and which adapter is your mobile hotspot (typically named "Local Area Connection* [#]")
    Right click the adapter that is connected to the internet and click Properties
    Go to the Sharing tab
    Uncheck "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection". If it is already unchecked, skip this step.
    Click OK
    Again, open Properties > Sharing for the same adapter.
    Check "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection"
    (If you get a popup that says "Internet Connection Sharing is currently enabled...", click OK.)
    Under "Home networking connection:", select the mobile hotspot adapter
    Click OK

    Press Windows key + X
    Click Device Manager
    Expand Network adapters
    Right click then uninstall all virtual adapters

    Open Start then type: regedit
    Right click Regedit then click Run as administrator
    Navigate to the following registry key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WlanSvc\Parameters\HostedNetworkSettings\

    Delete the following key:
    HostedNetworkSettings

    Restart then try again.

    Run the Network adapter troubleshooter

    Open Start > Settings > Update & security > Troubleshoot
    Scroll down, select Network adapters
    Click Run the troubleshooter

    When complete, restart to see if it works.

    If not, you can try updating both your Network adapter drivers or uninstall them.

    Press Windows key + X
    Click Device Manager
    Expand network adapters
    Right click your adapter, click uninstall

    Exit Device Manager then restart

    Windows 10 will re-detect them and reinstall them.

    OR

    Open Start, type: CMD
    Right click CMD
    Click Run as administrator

    Type in at the prompt OR Copy and Paste these one at a time : (Hit enter after each)

    netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=name key=YOURPASSWORD

    netsh wlan start hostednetwork

    Exit Command Prompt

    Open Start > Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi > 'Change adapter options'

    Select the new "Local Area Connection #..."

    Right click this and select "Properties",

    Choose the "Sharing Tab then check 'Allow other network Users to connect through this computer's Internet connection'

    Click Apply then OK

    :)

  3. 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.
