    Starting hotspot dosent automatily share wifi with virtual adapter


    Got a weird problem I have been working on wife's computer it is a asus n56dp. It had problems with video adapter so I downgraded from win 10 to 8.1.Never having got adapter issue resolved I upgraded it back to win 10. Throughout this I have been using it as a hot spot but after going back to win 10 when I start hotspot I have to manually share wifi with the virtual adapter. I have tried resting network settings and normal diagnostic tools any help would be appreciated thanx

    :)

    Unable to share WiFi with Virtual Network Hotspot ?

    I created a virtual hotspot and wanted to connect it to my Wifi. But when I go to my Wifi in the network settings, click properties and try to sharing the Wifi, I have no option to share it to my hotspot. Is there a reason that I'm unable to share my Wifi
    to my virtual hotspot?

    Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter Missing


    Hello,

    I've been trying to get my virtual WiFi hotspot working since I upgraded to Windows 10 and it does not seem to be working. In Device Manager instead of finding an instance of Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter I have Microsoft Hosted Network Virtual Adapter installed and this is only present in Network Connections when the hosted network is started and it disappears when it is stopped, unlike the Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter which was persistently in Network Connections. Also, my devices can connect to the hotspot I create but the network itself is limited and they have no internet access even though I have enabled sharing on my Ethernet connection. When trying to troubleshoot the limited connection I get the error message '"Wi-Fi does not have a valid IP configuration".

    Does anyone have any advice on how to get the Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter back? I've tried reinstalling both my Ethernet and WiFi drivers in Device manager but it always installs Microsoft Hosted Network Virtual Adapter instead. Or am I in the wrong ballpark and it is nothing to do with this new driver. Any help would be appreciated!
