Your laptop hotspot is connected via the Direct Virtual Adapter #2. It functions properly when hotspot is enabled, but the SSID remains visible from other devices even after disabling hotspot. The network name switches unexpectedly between the hotspot label and a direct connection. This behavior suggests a possible configuration issue or driver problem. You may want to check the adapter settings, restart your laptop, or reach out to Microsoft support for further assistance.
It seems your device is using WIFI Direct. To disable it, you can use CMD commands. Launch Start, search for CMD, right-click and select Run as administrator. In the prompt, type: netsh wlan stop hostednetwork Then run: netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=disallow. Press Enter to finish. Exit and restart your device.
