Maybe once, maybe 5 times until it connects. Sometimes it says 'can't connect to network.' I just click over and over again. I click on connect, and it checks for network requirements. I right click on the icon at the lower right hand corner, and it says connections are available. Well, sometimes it works but most of the time, I have to click on 'CONNECT' to get wireless internet.

Recently, I posted this problem, and I was advised to wait for updates to fix it. I hope that I will be able to activate the mobile hotspot again soon I have two of this listed in my device manager (under hidden devices) also: To fix this problem, reconnect this hardware device to the computer. I have tried many step from the net like, going to device manager to see hidden devices, scan for hardware changes, activating it and doing other setting but still I am out of luck.īut when I am click Properties of the Microsoft Wifi Direct Virtual Adapter in Device Manager it say this :Ĭurrently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. When I tried to activate my mobile hotspot on my laptop it says : We can't set up mobile hotspot. Before this once I connect the WIFI on my laptop and on the mobile hotspot then after connecting my phone to my laptop, but now I could not even activate it. After I updated my laptop with the windows version 1709, I havent been able to use the mobile hotspot like I used to.
