It is really hard to understand Why you post a code that doesn’t work. I tried this code on 5 computers, it did not start the Mobile Hotspot on any of them. Not a single person in the world can prove that this code starts the Mobile Hotspot

@Edward – This command requires to be run as an admin. Check if you are or aren’t admin on your workstation, if not, it requires a little workaround, how to code it in the batch file to run it as an admin. I am suffering from the same problem.
@Kapil – can you maybe prepare the code to run as an admin? Thanks :)
