I am trying to use a dns server on my pc that requires .NET 5.
For academical purposes, I need the hotspot of the same PC where I install .NET 5 to work properly.

The problem is that whenever I install .NET 5, when I connect my smartphone to the hotspot of the PC it says "internet not available". Than when I uninstall .NET 5 everything works fine.

Do you have any solution?

    Sounds like you may need to engage the hardware manufacturer about driver support with .Net 5.0

    Hi,

    For testing purpose, if possible, you can use other laptop to do a test. Install .NET 5 and use hotspot on the other machines, if the issue still happens, I would suspect this is a compatibility issue.

    If yes, then you can report this issue to Microsoft directly with the Feedback Hub app. The Feedback Hub app lets you tell Microsoft about any problems you run in to while using Windows 10.
