Hi @The_Fossette

Thank you for all your efforts , I really appreciate it .

Hi @bakhshi

I recommend you to update the wireless card driver from device manager and run the command again and check.

If the issue still persists, I recommend you to contact phone support to further diagnose the issue.

Here is how you can reach phone support.

Open link:  www.hp.com/contacthp/
Enter Product number or select to auto detects
Scroll down to "Still need help? Complete the form to select your contact options"
Scroll down and click on HP contact options - click on Get phone number.

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks again but My drivers are the latest and updated , can't update it again .

and I don't think I will be using phone support as I have some issues with calling here in India , finding an online solution would be best .

 Thanks anyway I hope I can find it soon.

Hi @bakhshi

I would like to inform you that the intel wireless card 7265 doesn't support hotspot feature. 

Please refer to the below forum link of intel for more information.

Hope that answers your question.

Hi there

I simply downgraded the driver version for my intel wireless card 7265 by unistalling the latest driver version , downloading and installing the very older version --> 17.15.0.5 . 

After installing , I rebooted my laptop and then started the app called OSToto Hotspot downloaded from http://www.ostoto.com/products/wifi-hotspot.html .

However some other apps do not work as far but at least it solved my problem here .


Thank you so much for your cooperation and help sir .
Have a good day .
