Unable to activate Hotspot WIndows 11

Locked

Tags: Networking, Windows

Hi, some days ago I was able to activate my hotspot from taskbar but all of a sudden I could not.
I can however create one using commmands in cmd.

Here are all the things I tried to fix that, but without any results : https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/unable-to-activate-hotspot/bb870698-bff0-420c-b5eb-d44535b47398

I don’t know if this is the right place to ask question like this one but if someone could help me I you be very glad.

Have to wait for Microsoft to fix.

As to the command line, create a batch file to make it easy.

Thanks

Thank you, I don’t have to type this everytime now.

Did you run the command in a command prompt to see if hotspot is supported

If your WiFi chip does not support sharing, you’ll need a different chip. Open a command prompt and type
NETSH WLAN show drivers
then press enter key, and check results.

Yes I tried

Yes my WiFi card supports sharing, after typing netsh wlan show drivers I get this : Hosted network supported : Yes.
I ran netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=ssid key=key and netsh wlan start hostednetwork and it works.
