Windows 10: WiFi sharing without internet

Ok, so I'm having some weird issues that I believe I posted about in the past. Currently, my desktop will routinely connect to the internet while reporting "no internet" in the settings. This would not be an issue, however my phone, for whatever reason, gets an extremely weak signal from the dorm WiFi, if any signal at all. Whenever it is connected, I need a VPN to get through to the WAN. I've been using my desktop's mobile hotspot function to get a stronger connection to my phone, but when windows thinks there's no internet, that doesn't work.

Is there a way to force a mobile hotspot that passes through the WAN connection as well?

Is it possible to share internet connection via remote desktop?

RDP is not capable of Internet sharing, so you can't share Internet using RDP with standard applications. There are many way to share Internet from a Windows box to another one. I suggest you to use VPN. You should do following steps:

1. Run VPN Server on your server with unlimited internet access
   
2. Connect to VPN server from your limited computer

• 
  Do have any System Restore point set in Windows prior to the issue?
  

We also need which of the following cases of network sharing applies to your case:
