I am unable to start Wifi Hotspot on my Windows 10 Home 64bit PC. I have the Dell Inspiron 3543. When I'm using Windows 8.1 it is working correctly but after upgarding it dosn't work. I tried using CMD prompt, external softwares like OsToto Hotspot, MyPublic Wifi, My WIFI Router, no one works.
Additionally I don't have Microsoft Virtual WiFi/Hosted Miniport Adapter listed in the Device Manager under Network Adapter. (Also I selected Show hidden devices)
I have Internet Connection Sharing enabled for my Ethernet connection.
STEPS/TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Re-installing Windows didn't help.
2. Error messages I got in the softwares I used.
a) OSToto Hotspot: "The wireless card is not found 1. Check if the wireless is turned on. 2. Is wireless adapter driver installed?"
b) MyWifi Router: "Fail to start your Wifi hotspot. Error 1002. Computer's wireless card does not support wireless hotspot creation.
c) CMD Prompt: The hosted network couldn't be started. The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation.
3. I tried doing netsh wlan show drivers, it gave me this. I don't understand why it shows Hosted Network Supported as No. Because I used to get WiFi hotspot on Windows 8.1 and 10 on my laptop before.
