Can't create a hotspot from windows 10 after upgrading from windows 8

After I upgraded to windows 10 from windows 8, I can't create a wi-fi hotspot (using Virtual Wi-Fi Router). I get an error "the group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation" upon trying to create the hotspot.

Running Windows 10 Home Single Language 64-bit on HP ab032tx.

I've tried this way on Administrator: Command prompt:

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.10240]

(c) 2015 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=AdHoc key=password

The hosted network mode has been set to allow.

The SSID of the hosted network has been successfully changed.

The user key passphrase of the hosted network has been successfully changed.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>netsh wlan start hostednetwork

The hosted network couldn't be started.

The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>

The possible cause for this problem is that "Virtual Wi-Fi Router" isn't supported on Windwos 10.

Have you tried it with other software or tools like ... alternativeto Virtual Wi-Fi Router

Also good to know is that you don't need any additional tools to create hotspot via Windwos 10. Here are simple steps how to create hotspot using using the windwos command promt.

Can you plz give me more information about what kind of error/problem do you get? Also have you tried it with another software similar to Virtual Wi-Fi Router? – Stackcraft_noob – 2015-12-27T17:39:10.307

I will add it to the Question. – RE60K – 2015-12-28T06:55:17.507

apparently connectify.me software worked – RE60K – 2015-12-28T07:15:08.530

yes I have created cmd in admin mode(I mentioned it in the question itself). Following the video, I don't have my PC in flight mode and following the second fix, I can't fid any "Microsoft Hosted Network Virtual Adapter". – RE60K – 2015-12-28T21:40:43.410

Then you need to try to trobleshoot this problem with other methods. https://www.google.co.uk/#q=windows+10+hotspot+The+hosted+network+couldn%27t+be+started.

But if the way with the alternative software has helped you, plz don't forget to accept my answer if it was helpful! – Stackcraft_noob – 2015-12-29T14:00:00.220

The error:

The hosted network couldn't be started. The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation.

is shown if the wifi interface is disabled. Enable it to resolve the problem.
