Windows 10: Solved Android phone stuck on "obtaining ip address" while using mobile hotspot in windows 10

I wanted to use mobile hopspot utility of Windows 10 on my laptop to share LAN connected internet with my android mobile phone, but wifi connection with laptop stucked at "obtaining ip address". My laptop had internet connection, whereas I could not get internet on my mobile.


I tried all the solutions suggested on the different threads, but problem was not solved.


I am using Bitdefender Internet Security. I switched off the firewall of this internet security and my mobile connected and got internet immediately.


My openion is, Microsoft and Bitdefender should find its better solution so that Switching OFF the firewall of Bitdefender is not required.

Hi,

A new option showed up after updating to creator's update called 'Mobile Hotspot'. I set up new hotspot network name and password and tried to connect to the hotspot on my mobile phone. After entering the password and clicking connect on my mobile, the status

Are there any additional settings?

I use Avast Premier Anti-Virus program.
