    Windows not discovering mobile hotspot


    Hello everyone,
    I have been connecting my mobile hotspot with my laptop wifi for more than 3 months, but recently I faced a problem.
    My laptop is unable to discover my mobile phone's hotspot. But my laptop can discover other mobile phone's hotspot.

    Again, my mobile hotspot is discoverable by any other devices except my laptop.

    I have done the following things but it failed to solve the problem:
    1. I clicked "forgot" my mobile hotspot network under wifi settings/mange known network in my laptop.
    2. I have uninstalled my laptop's wifi driver and reinstalled a new one.
    3. I have checked for updates and installed all the updates shown in my laptop.
    4. I have factory rest my phone.

    I use Windows 10 in my laptop.
    Anyone who can suggest me anything about the problem?

    :)

  3. 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.

    Mobile Hotspot

    We appreciate that you have tried the suggested steps above. Have you tried to connect other devices to the mobile hotspot on your PC?

    Since the issue is still the same, we suggest that you uninstall/reinstall the network adapter driver and check if this will resolve the issue. Follow the steps below:


    • Press Windows key + X and click on
      Device manager
      .

    • Locate for Network adaptor and click on it expand it.

    • Right click on the device and click on
      uninstall
      .

    • Once you are done uninstalling the driver, restart the computer. It will automatically install the generic network adapter driver.

    We can also update the network adapter driver. Skip step 3 from the above steps and right click on the device and click on update.

    Feel free to post back for any updates.
