Today, I would like to talk to you about how to turn off Mobile Hotspot in Windows 10. Many people may not know much about it. In order to make you understand better, the editor has summarized the following for you. I hope you can get something according to this article.

Win10 comes with a mobile hotspot feature that allows you to share existing Internet connections with other devices through WiFi. One warning about this feature is that it won't stay open all the time. If the device is not connected for more than five minutes, Mobile Hotspot will automatically shut down. In this guide, we will share tips for preventing mobile hotspots from shutting down windows 10.

Stop moving hotspots and turn them off

We have adopted two options here. The first is the location where the Mobile Hotspot function is automatically turned off. The second is where hotspots are disabled when there is no Internet connection.

-- turn off the power saving feature

-- use the Powershell command to change PeerlessTimeoutEnabled settings

-- increase the idle timeout setting for mobile hotspots

-- increase timeout when cellular connections are not available

-disable wifi and network adapter power management options

If you do not have an wifi adapter, this feature will not be available. If you are using a desktop, you can add an external wifi adapter.

1. Turn off the power saving function

-- Open Settings > Network and Internet

-- Click Mobile Hotspot

-- switch to share my Internet connection with other devices

-- at the end of the setting, turn off the option-automatically turn off the mobile hotspot when no device is connected.

Release this; even if you don't have a device connected to Mobile Hotspot, it will remain open. This option is visible only when Mobile Hotspot is turned on.

two。 Use the PowerShell command

Open PowerShell with administrator privileges and execute the following command:

Powershell-windowstyle hidden-command "Start-Process cmd-ArgumentList'/ s powershell-SYSTEM-command" Start-Process cmd-ArgumentList'/ s Services stop "icssvc" & REG ADD "HKLM\ SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\ Services\ icssvc\ Settings" / V PeerlessTimeoutEnabled / T REG_DWORD / D 0 / F & net start "icssvc"'- Verb runAs "

It will ensure that Mobile Hotspot does not shut down itself. The following is what the script does in the background.

-- stop the mobile hotspot service (icssvc)

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\ Services\ icssvc\ Settings

-create a DWORD key PeerlessTimeoutEnabled with a value of 0

-restart Mobile Hotspot Service (icssvc)

Although you can do this manually, we strongly recommend that you use the PowerShell command for a * effect.

3. Increase the idle timeout setting for mobile hotspots

The default timeout is five minutes when there is no active connection. You can use this method if you don't want to open it all the time, but keep it open for longer. By changing the same key PeerlessTimeout that is available in different locations, you can change it to a maximum of 120 minutes.

-- Open Registry Editor

-- navigate to HKLM\ System\ ControlSet001\ Services\ ICSSVC\ Settings\ PeerlessTimeout

-change the value of this key to any value between 1 and 120

-- exit and restart

4. Increase the timeout when the cellular connection is not available

Many times you want to connect to the device, so it becomes part of the network. However, Mobile Hotspot shuts down automatically when there is no Internet or mobile data. However, using registry settings, you can change any value between 1 and 60. The default value is 20 minutes.

-- Open Registry Editor

-- navigate to HKLM\ System\ ControlSet001\ Services\ ICSSVC\ Settings\ PublicConnectionTimeout

-- set the value between 1 and 60

-- exit and restart

Maintaining this feature allows you to use your computer as a bridge for all devices. You can access files and folders on other devices by sharing on the network.

5. Disable Wifi and network adapter power management options

WiFi adapters and network devices have properties that are turned off when using batteries but are not used for a long time.

-- Open device Manager (Win + X + M)

-expand the list of network devices

Select the Wifi adapter and go to the Power Management tab

-any content related to power saving should be turned off

It ensures that no network device shuts down Mobile Hotspot or triggers any device that can do so.
