Windows 10: Windows 10/11 mobile hotspot - obtaining IP error - how to migrate all network settings

Hello,I used to enable the mobile hotspot feature and share my wifi connection via my desktop pc to my other mobile devices. After a while, I tried again but my mobile devices couldn't connect hotspot connection and got stuck at `obtaining IP` phase. I am using my TP link dongle to do that. I am also using a Surface pro 4 and when I try to enable the mobile hotspot feature with TP link dongle after disabling Surface`s wifi adapters I experienced the same problem, mobile hotspot turns on but my mobile devices cannot connect and get stuck at obtaining IP address step. I am using the same Windo

Mobile hotspot on Dell Inspiron 15 will no longer obtain IP address

The mobile hotspot on my Dell Inspiron 15 laptop WAS working fine, but now it will not obtain an IP address when I try to connect my phone, smart TV, etc., to it. My devices can see the network, and they try to connect, but I end up getting an error message
that it 'failed to obtain IP address.'
