Windows 10 Hotspot error: We can't setup mobile hotspot. Turn on Wi-Fi
I get the following error whenever I try to turn my mobile hotspot on.
I made sure the following things, that usually come up when googled, are right:
- My Wi-Fi is on and I'm connected to my home network and have access to internet.
- My Wi-Fi card supports hostednetwork feature.
Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)andRouting and Remote Accessservices are running and are NOT disabled. (Tried turning them automatic too)- No Warning symbols in Device Manager. My network card is working properly and has latest drivers installed.
- I'm still able to create a hostednetwork successfully using
netsh wlan start hostednetworkwithout any errors. - Restarted several times, reinstalled the drivers, and ran the troubleshooters many times, but none of them seemed to change anything.
Note: When I try (5) there's no internet when connected though I shared the right adapter and can see Access Type: Internet in Network and Sharing Center. And restarting results in Access Type: No network access; So I would like to use the Win 10 built-in internet feature which worked without any issues on my other PC
And I don't know if the blank near
Network Bandis causing any issues!

You may want to try these two commands in the Command prompt. They fixed up the exact same problem:
Open a command prompt as admin.
In it, type the following:
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=name key=password
where name is your chosen network name and password is your password, followed by:
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
This is a command line version of the switch found in the Settings app... Hope it helps!
See:
Win10 Error: "We can't set up mobile hotspot." for more information using the same method.
