Edited my old issue for my new issue.
Hey guys - quick rundown, I use netsh wlan start hosted network in CMD as Admin to run my Hosted Network. I then turn on my ExpressVPN & Share my connection to the Hosted Network - this way allows me to play on NA servers late at night in the EU when ours are dead. Everything has been completely fine for months - until the passed week.
My issue now seems to have come after a recent windows update which stopped internet browsing from working while a hosted network was active - I have deleted that update but a new issue has persisted. My VPN & Hosted Network both have internet access and both are working, the issue I am having is that the connection doesn't last long at all. (30 seconds - 1min, drops and then unfindable on my console/phone, then it comes back, and repeat over and over).
I'm here today after asking on some other microsoft forum and he suggested I ask here, I don't know exactly what my issue is but I'd be willing to try anything related to firewall, registry or anything else.
I have fully restored my pc around 10 hours ago, and all my drivers and everything related are up to date. (those that came with the restore - I don't know if i need any additional drivers)?
One issue I seem to have which I don't know if it is part of the cause is 'netsh wlan show profiles' - nothing comes up when I do this, and before my WiFi card would show up because when I set up it months ago I ran this cmd netsh wlan set profileparameter name="WLAN-PROFILE-NAME" connectionmode=manual to stop my card from searching for wireless signals and just used it as my shared network only, I have ethernet for everything else. (I have tried the services method on wlan autoconfig - seems to turn my net off entire rather than just the searching for signals)?
Any ideas you guys can think of that I could try, or anybody encountered the same issues?
