the goal is I want to activate Mobile hotspot that use this driver Microsoft Wifi Direct Virtual Adapter #4 in order to work. apparently only this adapter, the other virtual adapter didnt work to activate mobile hotspot.

but the my Microsoft Wifi Direct Virtual Adapter is somewhat RANDOMLY enabled and disabled itself between Windows session!

when the driver is disabled (greyed out) I can not enable it because there IS NOT enable driver option.. its magically gone! (so dont answer me to go to Device Manager > right click driver > enable.. its not there!)

well, how to activate it PERMANENTLY?

in properties status there's error:

"Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45)

To fix this problem, reconnect this hardware device to the computer."

(well, i can not "reconnect" it because its inside the laptop, duh)

windows already told me that I'm using latest driver for that driver.

also, command netsh wlan start hostednetwork also did not work. cmd says cannot start hosted network.

any help?
