    THIS WORKED FOR ME

    Settings-more-portable hotspot-portable WiFi hotspot settings-menu ( top right of screen)

    Click advanced-

    LAN settings- reset to default

     do not hide SSID

     Set WiFi channel to 3 or more

    < back to settings-

    Enter network name

    Change security to WPA (TKIP)

    Enter password

      Go to computer open network and sharing center. Choose manage wireless networks on the top left…remove any that are associated with the phone

    Return to the Net Work & Sharing center page- choose Set up a new connection

    Choose connect to the internet, click next, click wireless

    Under the phones network properties, choose security,

    Change Security Type to- WPA Personal

    Chang Encryption to- TKIP

    Type in your security password – hit OK

    Restart phone and laptop

    Hey Sharma, 

    This is not to well documented of an issue so bare with us as we try some troubleshooting steps.

    First, follow this thread here and give it a try. It should apply well to your issue.

    Check your Power Management setting after creating the hot spot, and monitor it.

    Check your Event Viewer after this happens and tell us what it says.

    Thanks!
