Hi batzorig,

I understand that an error is occurring while internet sharing is enables on the computer.

1. What is the exact\complete error message?
2. Have you made any recent changes to the computer?

I suggest you to run the steps and check if it helps.

1. Press Windows key + R and type services.msc.
2. Select Internet Connection Sharing.
3. Select start up type(delayed).
4. Restart your PC.

This service will loaded after windows starting in about 5 minutes, its not immediatly start.
