  •  Go to RUN (shortcut is windows + R ) and type  C:\Windows\system32 and press enter and find cmd.exe and right click on it and click on RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR. In short open command prompt run as administrator.
Now type the following command. 

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=Hotspot key=Password 
(Note: Here ssid can be any name and key can be anything because its your password)

  • Your hosted network is set now. Next you have to start your hosted network.
  • Now type the following command in same command prompt.
  
 netsh wlan start hosted network

netsh wlan show hosted network

  • Next share your internet connection in the network connections.
