Can't start hostednetwork
netsh, windows, windows-7, windows-7-x64
Solution
This happen after you disable via Control Panel -> network adapters -> right click button on the virtual connection -> disable
To fix that go to Device Manager (Windows-key + x + m on windows 8, Windows-key + x then m on windows 10), then open the network adapters tree , right click button on Microsoft Hosted Network Virtual Adapter and click on enable.
Try now with the command `netsh wlan start hostednetwork` with admin privileges. It should work.
Note: If you don't see the network adapter with name 'Microsoft Hosted Network Virtual Adapter' try on menu -> view -> show hidden devices in the Device Manager window.
Problem
When I try to run `netsh wlan start hostednetwork`, I get the following message: ``` C:\Windows\system32>netsh wlan start hostednetwork The hosted network couldn't be started. The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation. ``` I'm running this with admin privileges, so it's not the notorious ``` C:\Users\Kevin>netsh wlan start hostednetwork You must run this command from a command prompt with administrator privilege. ``` How do I get the hosted network "in the correct state"?
