Hello everyone, I'm trying to set up a virtual router for my VPN and I've tried every guide or video I can find but I still don't know how to fix this. Here is where I am stuck right now and the steps I have already taken. Where I am stuck... Driver: Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz Vendor: Intel Corporation Provider: Intel Date: 8/29/2022 Version: 22.170.0.3 INF file: oem5.inf Type: Native Wi-Fi Driver Radio types supported: 802.11b 802.11g 802.11n 802.11a 802.11ac 802.11ax FIPS 140-2 mode supported: Yes 802.11w Management Frame Protection supported: Yes Hosted network supported: No And in "Device Manager/Network Adapters" I don't have a "Microsoft Hosted Network Virtual Adapter" showing even when everything is unhidden. Steps I've finished so far... Upgraded to Windows 11 and started fresh on the whole computer Updated all WLAN drivers from the Intel website Used "Intel Driver Updater" Verified primary network is set to "Shared" Ran WLANAutoConfig Changed value in registry editor HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Wlansvc\Parameters\HostedNetworkSettings from 0->1 Verified power management options were actually correct I used these resources but they all say they need a Microsoft Hosted Network Virtual Adapter that isn't there. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/for... https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/for... https://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/fix-... https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support... https://www.wizcase.com/blog/why-you-need-a-vir... https://www.comparitech.com/blog/vpn-privacy/ho... https://vpnoverview.com/vpn-setup/installing-vp... https://www.tomsguide.com/features/how-to-set-u...

Your computer can't create a Wi-Fi hotspot because it doesn't have the right hardware, and Intel took away this ability. See: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/...eless.html
You gotta tell me exactly what you're trying to get done. How's your PC connecting to the internet, and what goals do you have for that hosted network?
