I disabled the one I just tried to create by clicking the button to turn it off. My solution? I googled how to enable a hotspot on Windows 10. The SSID is broadcasted then I input the password on my Pixel 2 and nothing it says 'Obtaining IP Address'. I input the SSID name as asked and a passkey. Read this entirely because I swear if someone links me to a Microsoft Support article about hot spots I will want to throw my p.c through the wall.įirst, I tried to enable the hotspot using the mobile hotspot button in the bottom right network options of the taskbar (where you'd go to select a wifi connection). I'm trying to use my computer as a hot spot for my Xbox and cell phones.
