Windows 10: Windows mobile hotspot stops working

So I installed a MediaTek mt7921k to put in my computer to use oculus air link, and up to yesterday I was able to use it to connect and play games. I checked using the NETSH command and it says that Hosted network supported is "no" which supposedly means my hardware does not support hotspotting, but I know this is inaccurate because it was working yesterday. I've tried turning wifi off and on again, restarting the computer, and reinstalling the drivers, but it is still not working.

Turned Windows 10 Mobile Hotspot "ON" but not visible on devices..

have you followed all the steps? U might have missed something. Check out instructions mentioned here https://www.thurrott.com/windows/windows-10/71072/windows-10-tip-setup-mobile-hotspot

 

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.

 

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
