    Try the following:

    Open Mobile hotspot settings (Settings > Network & Internet > Mobile hotspot)

    Turn on mobile hotspot
    
    Under "Related Settings", click Change adapter options
    
    Take note of which adapter is connected to the internet and which adapter is your mobile hotspot (typically named "Local Area Connection\* [#]")
    
    Right click the adapter that is connected to the internet and click Properties
    
    Go to the Sharing tab
    
    Uncheck "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection". If it is already unchecked, skip this step.
    
    Click OK
    
    Again, open Properties > Sharing for the same adapter.
    
    Check "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection"
    
    (If you get a popup that says "Internet Connection Sharing is currently enabled...", click OK.)
    
    Under "Home networking connection:", select the mobile hotspot adapter
    
    Click OK
    

    Problem persists:

    Open Start then type: regedit

    Right click Regedit then click Run as administrator

    Navigate to the following registry key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WlanSvc\Parameters\HostedNetworkSettings\

    Delete the following key:

    HostedNetworkSettings

    Restart then try again.

    Run the Network adapter troubleshooter

    Open Start > Settings > Update & security > Troubleshoot

    Scroll down, select Network adapters

    Click Run the troubleshooter

    When complete, restart to see if it works.

    If not, you can try updating both your Network adapter drivers or uninstall them.

    Press Windows key + X

    Click Device Manager

    Expand network adapters

    Right click your adapter, click uninstall

    Exit Device Manager then restart

    Windows 10 will re-detect them and reinstall them.

    Try setting up mobile hotspot again.

    Open Start, type: CMD

    Right click CMD

    Click Run as administrator

    Type the following command NETSH WLAN show drivers and press Enter

    In the results look for a line Hosted network supported, and see if it says Yes or No.

    If it says No then this is at fault, since your WiFi adapter does not support this feature, and there is not much to do about it (except buying another WiFi adapter that does support it.)

    If that does not, you can try this alternative to share you Internet connection:

    What if it says yes?

    Could you try virtual router just to isolate the problem?
