Answer 1

First off, when I went into cmd and typed "netsh wlan show drivers", I had a NO for hosted network support too. Doesn't matter, you can still do it. Just not in cmd.

I think this problem happens because they changed the way hosted networks work in windows 10. Don't use command line.

Just go on your pc to settings>Network>Mobile Hotspot and you should see all the necessary settings there. Turn it on, set up your network.

If it's still not working, go to Control panel>Network and Internet>Network and Sharing Center>Change Adapter Options> and then click on the properties of the network adapter that you want to share. Go to the sharing tab, and share that internet connection, selecting the name of the adapter you want to use to share it with.
