Hi there,

After Android 10 update the hotspot is creating problem as now I am not able to detect mobile hotspot on my laptop but is working with another mobile. 

On laptop it is not able to detect even the mobile hotspot. 

Can you please look into this and confirm what needs to be done.

1st press and hold the mobile hotspot option in dropdown panel it will lead you to mobile hotspot in settings
Now click on the upright 3 dots
Go to allowed devices
here disable the option "only allowed devices can connect "
I hope this might help you..

Instead of using hotspot in laptop, better use the USB tethering feature. If this is used our phone will also be charged within the period..

If you still needs hotspot only, then try to Reset network settings by following the steps
Settings-> General Management-> Reset-> Reset Network Settings

Hi @Shyam62 follow these steps to use internet with the feature of USB tethering in your PC or laptop
1. Connect your phone with USB cable
2. Settings- > Connections->Mobile Hotspot and Tethering-> USB tethering
3. Your PC or laptop will get connected with the internet from your phone.

Note: Use official cable that supports data transfer and not the power only cable

I think this may help you...
