I have a problem with the "mobile hotspot" feature of windows 10. When I turn on the hotspot it shows that the hotspot has been enabled but I can't connect my mobile phone with the pc. I have tried other mobile phones also, to connect with to connect with the hotspot but the problem still persists. Please help me to resolve the problem.

    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
    

    Press Windows key + X

    Click Device Manager

    Expand Network adapters

    Right click then uninstall all virtual adapters

    Restart then try again.

    Run the Network adapter troubleshooter

    Open Start > Settings > Update & security > Troubleshoot

    All of these are virtual adapters except the first two.
