Windows 10: Win 10 hotspot error ( We can't set up mobile hotspot. )

I have a problem with the hotspot service of win 10, I tried to solve it by netsh commands but the virtual network adapter which I got is a local network adapter ( seems like a wired one not a wireless one ), I remember that it was a Microsoft virtual wi-fi adapter not a Microsoft hosted virtual network..

so how to use this service without typing commands every time and sharing adapters, just by clicking mobile hotspot .


and I want to use wi-fi direct between my laptop and my phone, and also to make a connection with my wireless display.

:)

Windows 10 Mobile Hotspot Not working

Hi,

Your Bluetooth connection may be enabled which prevents you from setting up your mobile hotspot. To have this addressed, we suggest turning off the Bluetooth connection and see if you're able to set up your mobile hotspot. Follow these steps:

• Open Settings and select Devices.
• Click Bluetooth, then toggle it OFF.

Once done, check if you can now turn on your computer's mobile hotspot. Let us know how it goes.

Regards.
