Automating Windows 10 'Mobile hotspot'

We have a computer that shares it's wifi using Windows 10 'Mobile hotspot'.  The ba d part is that every time the user logs in, has to enable it.
Is there a way to enable 'Mobile hotspot' automatically when user logs in (see pix below).

Hi,

I found the solution.  Just placed the following line in the source windows startup computer

netsh wlan start hostednetwork

Open in new window


but for some reason, the hotspot name that appears is not the the one created on the source computer.

For example we created the hotspot with the name "TEMP_WIFI" (I did this via Windows 10 setup in the source computer)

But when running the above netsh command, the remote, or the-to-be-connected the computer, sees the hotspot names as "PCNAME_8750" not  "TEMP_WIFI"

I go back to the source comouter and the hotspot is "TEMP_WIFI"

Also, I deleted the wifi name altogether and ran the netsh command and still cannot connect; the password is correct but it says cannot connect.


Help please.
