    Windows 10 hotspot thinks that my phone is connected even though its not, how can I fix this


    So windows 10 says that I am connected to its hotspot from my phone. This makes me unable to reconnect my phone. No matter how long I wait it stays like that. The logical thing is to turn the hotspot on and off again, however when I do that it keeps saying we can't set up mobile hotspot. The only solution is to restart.


    This is also occurring on a separate computer, the thing in common is that the use WiFi cards but their drivers are all updated, this only started occuring after a recent update


    thx in advance

    :)

    Windows not discovering mobile hotspot

    I think you have already answered both of the other points I would have checked so I have nothing else useful to suggest -
    - Your computer can detect other 2.4GHz networks/hotspots
    - Other computers can detect your phone's 2.4GHz hotspot

    I have deliberately altered some Windows settings to hide unwanted local networks [not just stop any connection to them but hide them from appearing in the list of available networks]. But you have not been taking similar measures or you would have said so.

    As a final check, see if your phone's mobile hotspot appears in the list of detected networks using
    NirSoft WiFiInfoView

    Best of luck,
    Denis
