    All driver are updated to the latest versions.

  3. Wifi turns off automatically when a device is connected to my hotspot in Windows10 PC

    Hello Pradeep,

    I would suggest you to run the Network Troubleshooter and check for the issue. The Network troubleshooter is an automated tool which can find and automatically fix some common networking problems. Follow these steps and run the troubleshooter.


    • Press Windows + X key.

    • Select Control panel.

    • In the search box, type Troubleshooter and then click
      Troubleshooting.

    • Under Network and Internet.

    • Click on Network adaptor and Click on Next button.
    Reinstall the Network driver in compatibility mode
    and check.




    • Right-click on the driver setup file and click on ‘Properties’.

    • Click on the ‘Compatibility’ tab and check the box ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ and select Windows 8/8.1 operating system from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation. Once
      this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists.
    Let us know how it goes.
