Windows 11 hot issues can be solved by checking settings and drivers. First, when the hotspot cannot be turned on, confirm that the device supports and inserts the SIM card, check the network connection, update the network card driver, and enable mobile hotspots in the settings; second, after the device is connected, you cannot access the Internet, you need to turn off the firewall or security software, change the network type to "dedicated", and enable Internet connection sharing; finally, when the phone cannot search for signals, check the frequency band compatibility, confirm the SSID and password, adjust the channel or reset the network settings. When encountering problems, you should check them step by step to avoid directly reinstalling the system.

Sometimes there are some problems with the hotspot function of Windows 11, such as not being able to turn on hotspots, others cannot connect to, and being able to access the Internet even if they are connected, which is really annoying. This situation does not necessarily mean that the system is broken, but most of the time it is a problem of settings or permissions.

Hotspot function cannot be enabled

Some users find that the "Mobile Hotspot" option is grayed out when trying to turn on the hotspot, or they cannot find this option at all. This is usually because the SIM card is not inserted (if it is a cellular device), or the system does not detect an available network connection.

There are several solutions:

• Make sure your computer supports hotspot features, and some network cards or drivers do not support shared networks.
• Check if you are already connected to the Internet, the hotspot requires an available network source.
• Update the wireless network card driver, sometimes the old driver will cause hotspot function abnormalities.
• Check if it is disabled or hidden in Settings > Network and Internet > Mobile Hotspots.

The device can connect to hot spots but cannot access the Internet

This situation is very common: the phone connects to the computer hotspot and shows that it is connected, but the browser cannot open the web page, or it loads slowly or even timed out.

Possible reasons include:

• Windows firewall or third-party security software intercepts network shares.
• The IP address assigned by the hotspot conflicts or is not assigned correctly.
• Network Sharing settings are not configured correctly.

You can try the following steps:

• Restart the hotspot function, turn it off and then turn it on again.
• Check if the hotspot connection is marked as Public Network, and if so, try changing to Private.
• If you are using an Ethernet connection sharing hotspot, make sure the "Internet connection sharing" option is enabled.

No hot signals can be found on your mobile phone

Sometimes your phone or other devices can't find the Wi-Fi signal emitted by Windows 11 hotspots. This may be that the hotspot is not really broadcasting, or the frequency band is not set correctly.

Can check:

• Whether the Wi-Fi band used in the hotspot is supported by the device. Some old devices do not support the 5GHz band.
• Confirm that the hotspot name (SSID) and password are set correctly in Settings > Network and Internet > Hotspots.
• Try changing the channel or band of the hotspot and adjust it manually in Advanced Settings.

In addition, sometimes the hotspot settings may be reset after the Windows system is updated, causing the hotspot to no longer broadcast. You can try resetting your network settings (Settings > Network and Internet > Status > Network Reset > Reset Now).

Don't rush to reinstall the system when encountering these problems

Most of the time, hot issues in Windows 11 can be solved through setting adjustments or driver updates, and it is not necessarily a system failure. When encountering problems, check the network connection, hotspot settings and driver status first, and check it step by step. Basically, that's all, don't reinstall the system as soon as you come up.
