HostedNetworkStarter Description

The Windows operating system's Wifi hosted network feature enables users to create a wifi hotspot, granting any wifi-enabled device access to the network and internet connection of the computer. However, users have encountered issues with HostedNetworkStarter crashing when attempting to initiate the hosted network, specifically encountering a failure within hnetcfg.dll as it tries to disable existing Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) settings to configure ICS for the new hotspot. It remains uncertain whether the issue stems from a misconfiguration by HostedNetworkStarter or if it is a bug within the ICS component of Windows 10. Notably, several users have reported that this problem emerged following the installation of the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, suggesting a potential link between the update and the crashing issue. This situation leaves users seeking reliable solutions for establishing a functional wifi hotspot without disruption.
