    There is a (probably malicious) separate and always active Wifi-Hotspot emitted by my...


    My Surface 3 Pro has an active Hotspot of unknown origin, as long as my Wifi is activated and Windows 10's own Hotspot is off. (It gets replaced by the normal one, but it is not the same) The SSID of the Network is "DIRECT-COMYNAMES-SURFACEmsmD", it needs a password and it is a 5Ghz-Network. I randomly discovered it with my android phone and I have no idea how long it has been there. Neither Windows Defender nor Malwarebytes found anything noticeable.

    Does any one know what steps I could try to find the origin or how I could deactivate it? Thanks in advance.

    I'm sure the Wifi hotspot and vending machine computer are two separate components.
