Windows 10: Use WIN10 PC as a hotspot (ethernet)

Wasn't entirely certain how to phrase the title, but my problem basically is:

My xbox 360 doesnt have a wifi-adapter and I would like to connect it to the internet, but my router is downstairs and I don't really have the option of moving it. My windows 10 Home (ver.) PC is connected to the wifi. I'd like to make the win10 pc a hotspot, and connect to my xbox 360 to my PC using an ethernet cable. I know how to turn the win10 pc into a hotspot, but when i connect the xbox to it via an ethernet cable, it doesn't do anything. Can someone please tell me what the proper way to do this is? Thanks.

Windows 10, Mcafee Firewall, Ethernet Broadband, Dell XPS User trying to use Win10 Hotspot for Ipad and Iphone

Questions from Nathanial with my responses underlined:

We would like to ask some questions to know the best possible resolution.

• Have you tried changing the password of the Wifi hotspot and update the password on your phone?
  Per your question, I just completed this: Edited my wifi hotspot password to a different one, "forgot" that wifi hotspot on my iPhone, selected it again and used new password, the iPhone was given a secure connection
  (indicated by the locked lock icon) but again in red reads "No Internet Connection." Clicking IPhone info, the suggestion was to reboot my modem, which I did and then reboot my pc (because doing that 3 times fast in the 90s worked magic) but to no avail.

• Have you tried connecting different device on your Wifi hotspot and check if the issue persists?
  I have tried all the same steps mentioned above with my ipad as well...both, however, have the same ios. The ipad pro did not work either and had same result.

• Have you tried to connect your phone to different Wifi hotspot and check if the issue persists?
  Both ipad and iPhone have used wifi hotspots seamlessly around the world several times with no issues. I run my iPhone hotspot and my ipad pro connects to it as does dell/win10.
  

I am guessing here, but i think the closest i have come to a resolution was to tinker with my mcafee firewall to try and "allow" my iPhone ipaddress through but I followed steps and it did not work. Plus, that just
sounds to superuserish to me. However, my windows defender firewall is off and mcafee firewall is on...to complete the scenario.

This is a fairly default setup I have along with thousands of other dell pc's sold with win 10 and mcafee. I am shocked how elusive this setup is.

though ethernet connection i cant use win10 mobile hotspot (red text: ''We can't set up mobile hotspot because your PC...'')

hi guys, just wanted to create a hotspot from my ethernet (broadband) connected laptop (win10)… but it says under 'mobile hotspot' in red:

''We can't set up mobile hotspot because your PC doesn't have an Ethernet, Wi-Fi or cellular data connection''

I tried some suggestions in the internet, but none helped... here is a copy of my cmd:

P2P GO ports count : 1

updates ok... brand new laptop (msi) … ANYBODY...!?
