Unable to host virtual network for internet sharing


I've been getting the following error:
"The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation"

Things I've already done trying to solve the problem(To save time from suggesting the same things) :

1) Clean install of Windows 10.

2) Made sure my WiFi network card doesn't go to Sleep, by disabling that option in the Power Management.





3) Have set hosted network mode to allow





4) Made sure that my network with internet access is set to sharing





I tried going through all the forums regarding this, but none of them are solving my problem









Additional info :

It was working fine untill some random windows update, after which the PC started getting BSOD when trying to host a network. Reinstalling drivers started giving me this error instead of BSOD.

Then I rolled back to windows 8.1 and checked again. It was working flawlessly. I assumed it to be a driver problem, so I upgraded to Windows 10 again and this error is back.


Is my only solution is to chuck Windows 10 and run 8.1?

 

What is this network device?


This is a weird problem I've been seeing in windows for years now (not just windows 10). I've been unable to figure out what it is, but we're not alone in this, I did some research a while back and a lot of other people were seeing it as well.

Some suggest it's a bug in the network stack. Some suggest it's neighbors who are connecting somehow, but not able to use the network. Regardless, it's not an uncommon problem and doesn't seem to be anything worry about. Here's some examples:
