Hi !

I am desperately trying to use Windows mobile hotspot through command line (to use it afterwhile via the programm I am developping). 

Unfortunately, impossible to find a way to set it...

Does anyone know how to start/stop mobile hotspot + (cherry on the cake) get the list of connected devices ??

PS: I read about "netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow" ... But this not seems to be the same behavior as built in hotspot from Windows10

Thanks for your help !

    Hello, I am Navid , and I am an Independent Advisor. I will do my best to help you.

    It's a very interesting question for me also. Thank you to ask it. Fortunately, there is an official API from Microsoft that you could find it here:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/Window...

    I think and I hope that these two methods are what you are looking for:

    StartTetheringAsync()

    StopTatheringAsync()

    And maybe this property gives you Cherry on the cake:

    ClientCount

    But I am not sure. Because honestly I did never use it. (I hope that it's not just count, but count and list.)

    Best,

    Navid Dariya
