I can't create a mobile hotspot on PC because its missing the "Share over" option, as many places describe it should be there.

Devices are paired, YourPhone works, I can send and receive files, but I cannot create a mobile hotspot.

What do I need to do to make this option available?

By the way, there was no "Mobile Hotspot" in my Network Settings before, so I did a registry hack that I've on Google. That might have something to do with it? I don't know, but I don't know how to fix it.

The registry hack I did was deleting "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WlanSvc\Parameters\HostedNetworkSettings"

The Mobile Hotspot menu appeared, but it seems its not working properly.

Any ideas on how to make it work?

By the way, the bluetooth adapter I bought was this cheap one (maybe its not compatible with sharing internet?):

This reminded me that I had a USB adapter when I used before I could extend an Ethernet cable to my room, tested here and it worked! Now I can even see the "Bluetooth" option!

I bought the bluetooth adaptor for other reasons, but wanted to use it to share the internet as well.

Now its working properly! Thank you! 😀
