Wlan - The Hosted Network Couldn't Be Started.txt

Let alone enabling the network adapter under Device Manager may not help. The following helped me resolved the issue. I tried Disabling and Enabling the Wifi Adapter (i.e. the actual Wifi device adapter not the virtual adapters) in Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Network Connections altogether worked for me. The same can be done from the Device Manager too. This surely resets the adapter settings and for the Wifi Adapter and the Virtual Miniport adapters. However, please make sure that the mode is set to allow as in the below example before you run the start command. netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=ssidOfUrChoice key=keyOfUrChoice netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=@NGELAN@@@ key=@11111111 and after that run the command netsh wlan start hostednetwork. Also once the usage is over with the Miniport adapter connection, it is a good practice to stop it using the following command. netsh wlan stop hostednetwork Hope it helps.
