Networking :: Can't Create Hotspot That Works
Feb 10, 2016
I have been trying to create a hotspot from my HP laptop, which runs Windows 10, for a while (my laptop is connected to the internet by an ethernet cord). However, I keep running into roadblocks. I followed the instructions found here:
Turn Your Windows 10 Computer Into a Wi-Fi Hotspot
I've also followed the instruction on the apps found from the Windows App Store that give you instructions on how to use your laptop to broadcast wifi.
I have been able to successfully create and "start" a network that could broadcast wifi, but the new network, under the category of "Access Type", always says "No Network Connection". There is no connectivity problem with the ethernet itself. My laptop surfs the web just fine. But for some reason, the new networks that I create in order to broadcast wifi will always display "No Network Connection". I've tried troubleshooting it for a while but to no avail.

Reader's Digest version: Both of us are on the same network through an Asus RT-AC56R router. Both are running Windows 10, fully patched, checked w/ Belarc. My network is visible to her system and public files accessible. Hers, and the usb printer on her PC are NOT visible at all to my side of the network. It's as though her system isn't on the network.
Every setting in network sharing matches. I've checked several times to be certain both PCs have the exact same Advanced Network Sharing settings.
I am also running Linux Mint 64-bit as a dual boot. Needless to say, networking using Linux is PERFECT.

Prior to W10 I had a network NOT using Homegroup. Network worked who needs it? Now, I see some of my devices on the network, but when I try to share files I get a window requesting user name and password. Never used passwords before. I think Homegroup is sneaking in there, but all the devices say they don't have a Homegroup but some of them say the see a Homegroup on other devices. I've disabled Homegroup on all devices tried changing advanced network settings to no avail.

I'm on Windows 10 x64 and my network device is a Intel GbE LAN chip (10/100/1000 Mbit).
My issue is : I have a yellow triangle over the network icon in the notification area and it says me "Network : No Internet" even if i can access to internet and my network works perfectly.
That's not very serious issue but that's disturbing to know if i'm connected or not (real disconnections can happen). After trying to reboot my rooter and uninstalling/reinstalling Intel's newest drivers i don't know what to do.

My router is supplying IPv6 to all the LAN clients in my house. In particular, IPv6 is working on my Windows 10 desktop computer, but not this laptop. This laptop is a Windows 10 Pro OS, and I don't see IPv6 connectivity when I look at the connection in the Network and Sharing Center. When I look at the network adapter (wired) properties, it shows that IPv6 is enabled in the networking software.
The laptop used to have IPv6 connectivity with Windows 10 before I installed the giant threshold 2 update last night, now IPv6 not working on the laptop.
what I can do to diagnose the problem with the laptop? I've run the Windows troubleshooters, and they don't find any problems (of course). Even my Apple and Android mobile clients have IPv6 connectivity.

Both say 'Create Homegroup' but when I try both have the same 'Windows can not create a Homegroup on this computer'. Both say there is no homegroup!. I've tried refreshing my laptop for a secong time but still no luck.

I upgraded (free) two computers to Win10 primarily so I could view the hard drives from either computer. When one was Win7 and the other was win8.1 I tried to set up a homegroup for different operating systems with no luck.
When I go to Control Panel/Homegroup (win10) there is no option to create a homegroup. The only options are: Change advanced share settings... ; Start the HomeGroup troubleshooter; and Join now.
None of these leads to creating a HomeGroup. How to create a HomeGroup?

I've tried every "fix" I've come across and I cannot get my homegroup back up.
Is there a way to use the command line to leave the homegroup? This has been difficult since I upgraded my PCs to Win10. Using flash drives to share files is getting old.

Using a LOCAL account I have no problem with Shares -- how do I set these now using an Ms account.
Samba just times out trying to access Windows machine where I'm logged on with an Ms account. Also I can't access other Windows machines from the Ms account. The other Windows machines can't access the Windows machine where I'm logged on with an Ms account.
All these problems DISAPPEAR when using a LOCAL account.
I think my future strategy will be just keep a MINIMAL Windows VM with an Ms account to GET the insider builds and then revert back to Local accounts.

I am having a weird day with my Windows 10 Pro PC. I had to reset it earlier, and it is throwing a tantrum about it.
I can connect to the internet just fine through my phone's Wi-Fi hotspot, but when I attempt to connect to my router to use my home Wi-Fi connection, it connects but says it has no internet connection. There are no less than 4 other computers, 3 phones, and 2 tablets which all use this connection (the router, that is) regularly (2 computers are on it right now) with no issues at all.
When I attempt to use the router, it says it's connected, but has no internet. I would think that would mean no outside internet connection, but network access... but I can't even access the router's homepage.
Router is a Mikrotik Routerboard RB951Ui-2HnD provided by my ISP. I have tried rebooting both the router and the PC several times with no success and I just finished a clean install of Windows, again with zero results.
PC Specs:
OS: Windows 10 Pro
CPU: Athlon FX-6300 6-core 3.5GHz
Mobo: ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0
RAM: 8GB DDR3 PC12800
Graphics: 2GB eVGA Geforce 750 Ti SC
System Drive: 120GB SATA3 SSD
Storage Drive: 2TB WD 7200RPM HDD
PSU: Corsair 600W
Cooling is stock CPU and GPU Coolers and 5 120mm case fans
Networking is through one of those cheap little Edimax USB Dongles. Tested fine in 2 other PC's and is using the most recent driver in this one.

Ever since i updated my windows 7 to windows 10, i am unable to use any of mobile's Wifi-hotspot to use internet on my laptop which i used to do earlier hassle-free.
Now whenever i try to connect my laptop to a wifi-hotspot of any of my mobile phones the laptop seems to connect with it and also shows 'Internet Access' sometimes (or Limited Access most of the times) but when i try to open any of the websites it doesn't open.
How do i connect my laptop (Win10) to a portable WiFi-Hotspot?

I have an Asus laptop 64-bit recently upgraded from Windows 7
My Windows 10 seems to be fine, except for the mail app inbox and notifications.
I have checked all the settings, but they must be correct anyway, because occasionally, an email arrives correctly in the inbox and I get a notification correctly. Then the next few just don't arrive in the inbox, but interestingly, when I click on "All mail" they are all there.
I have removed my (GMail) account and then reinstated it, but that made no difference.
I have tried to uninstall the app using Powershell, but it asked me for "parameters" and I didn't know what to do at that point!
how to make the inbox and related notifications work correctly?

When I right click on something to get the context menu, it sometimes works and sometimes does not.
Here are three images showing how it appears. As you can see, there is a completely variable response as to what appears. I am using the standard Windows 10 theme in a completely fresh install (not an upgrade) on a new hard disk.

I upgraded to windows 10 on my desktop pc on july 29th and haven't had any problems since. I know that upgrade/updates are forced to happen so when random issues occurred today I feel that maybe there was an update sent out? My ethernet no longer works, only to connect outside my LAN, but I can still remote desktop and access the computer so the port/cable still work and the router works for all other comps over ethernet. The internet goes in for a split second when I reset the adapter but then instantly goes out. I also noticed when launching a steam game the xbox controller no longer works to control it despite it working yesterday and the controller will control steam itself just not the games. Should I downgrade to windows 8.1 again, since I don't have internet anymore any fixes wouldn't even reach my computer?

It doesn't open whether I hit the Windows key or if I click the Start button.

I was recently browsing the internet (on windows 10) when suddenly it crashes then restarts. Instead of restarting fully it did a disk analysis. It restarted a few times when doing this scan but eventually it finished. When restarting it brought up a completely new desktop picture and had no password. This was completely different to mine. When going onto the desktop there was no taskbar, no recycling bin, but only 4 small white buttons in the bottom right corner. These buttons consist of language, wireless connection, ease of access? and power. None of these buttons seem to do much if nothing. In ease of accses there is a tab saying on screen keyboard and when clicked nothing happens. You cannot right click on the desktop either!
