I’m having trouble with the mobile hotspot feature on my Windows 11 desktop. I’ve enabled the mobile hotspot, and my Android phone detects the signal, but it gets stuck on “Obtaining IP Address” and never connects. Have you encountered this issue before, and do you know how to resolve it?

I’ve already tried restarting my PC and disabling/enabling the Wi-Fi adapter through Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Network Connections. I also updated the virtual network adapter drivers in Device Manager, but nothing has worked. Lastly, I opened Command Prompt (Run as administrator) and received the following output:

The hosted network mode has been set to allow.

C:WindowsSystem32>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.

The main issue seems to be that “Hosted network supported: No.” While I know my PC supports mobile hotspot because it has the necessary drivers and settings, I can turn it on, but my Android phone gets stuck on “Obtaining IP Address” and won’t connect. Can you help me resolve this? Thank you for your time and assistance.
