How to always keep the Hotspot active in Windows 10

The new Windows 10 operating system incorporates by default the possibility of creating a local internet hotspot or access point. This allows you to connect to the internet from your mobile device through your computer connection. In other words, let’s imagine that your computer has an internet connection, but your mobile phone doesn’t. Then you can activate the option: Mobile wireless coverage area to share your connection with mobile devices.

This function is really useful in certain situations such as airports or in places where we only have the option of connecting via Ethernet cable. In this way you will create a WiFi network from your PC to which your mobile device can connect. However, this feature will not always remain active even after it has been manually enabled.

When you enable Mobile wireless coverage area In Windows 10, it will stay on as long as a device is connected to it. In some cases, if a device is connected but is not actively using the connection, the access point will be disabled. This means that you will have to reactivate it and reconnect the device to continue to have internet access.

However, this can be somewhat uncomfortable, since many users, including myself, would like to have activated the Mobile wireless coverage area permanently so as not to have to configure each time we want to access the internet through the access point created on your Windows computer.

But, how to always keep the Windows 10 Hotspot active? Well, below we show you step by step everything you have to do to keep the internet access point activated even if you are not using it:

How to always keep the Mobile Wireless Hotspot active in the latest version of Windows 10.

– The first thing we will have to do is access the Windows configuration using the keyboard shortcut: Windows key + I.

– Within the configuration you will have to go to: Network and Internet> Area with mobile wireless coverage.

– On the next screen you will have to click on the button next to the option: Eat my internet connection with other devices.

– Once the option is activated you will have to scroll down until you find the Energy Saving section. Under it you will have to deactivate the switch that allows you to disable this option.

– Once disabled, even if no device is connected, the mobile wireless hotspot will NOT automatically turn off.

How to always keep Mobile Hotspot on in older versions of Windows 10.

– If you are running an older version of Windows 10 which lacks the power saving switch in the settings Mobile wireless coverage area, you can use a specific script for PowerShell thanks to which you can keep the mobile access point permanently activated even if it is not being used.

– Access Windows search and enter the name Notepad. When the tool is displayed among the search results, you will need to double-click the left mouse button to open it.

– In the new Notepad document you will have to paste all the text (script) that we show you below:

Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Runtime.WindowsRuntime
$ asTaskGeneric = ([System.WindowsRuntimeSystemExtensions] .GetMethods () |? {$ _. Nombre -eq 'AsTask' -y $ _. GetParameters (). Count -eq 1 -y $ _. GetParameters () [0]. ParameterType.Name -eq 'IAsyncOperation`1'}) [0]
Función en espera ($ WinRtTask, $ ResultType) {
$ asTask = $ asTaskGeneric.MakeGenericMethod ($ ResultType)
$ netTask = $ asTask.Invoke ($ null, @ ($ WinRtTask))
$ netTask.Wait (-1) | Nulo
$ netTask.Result
}
Función AwaitAction ($ WinRtAction) {
$ asTask = ([System.WindowsRuntimeSystemExtensions] .GetMethods () |? {$ _. Nombre -eq 'AsTask' -y $ _. GetParameters (). Count -eq 1 -and! $ _. IsGenericMethod}) [0]
$ netTask = $ asTask.Invoke ($ null, @ ($ WinRtAction))
$ netTask.Wait (-1) | Nulo
}

$ connectionProfile = [Windows.Networking.Connectivity.NetworkInformation, Windows.Networking.Connectivity, ContentType = WindowsRuntime] :: GetInternetConnectionProfile ()
$ tetheringManager = [Windows.Networking.NetworkOperators.NetworkOperatorTetheringManager, Windows.Networking.NetworkOperators, ContentType = WindowsRuntime] :: CreateFromConnectionProfile ($ connectionProfile)
if ($ tetheringManager.TetheringOperationalState -eq 1) 
{
"¡Hotspot ya está activado!"
}
más{
"Hotspot está apagado! Encendiéndolo"
Await ($ tetheringManager.StartTetheringAsync ()) ([Windows.Networking.NetworkOperators.NetworkOperatorTetheringOperationResult])
}

– After copying and pasting the script in the notepad, you must save it with the extension “.PS1”, that is, you must provide a name and just after it add: .PS1

– Now we will have two options, run this script manually every time we turn on our computer or add it to the Startup folder so that it is automatically executed by Windows every time it starts. To add the script to the home folder you will have to open Windows File Explorer and go to the following path:

C:ProgramDataMicrosoftWindowsMenú de inicioProgramasInicio
C:ProgramDataMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsStartUp

– When you paste the .PS1 file with this script, you will make sure that every time you start the Windows operating system, the internet access point will be activated and will remain active permanently.
