❤️ Sponsor This Project

Automatically enable the Windows 10 mobile hotspot by toggling off/on the Windows Wi-Fi adapter and then re-enabling the Mobile Hotspot.

This script is useful for cases where your mobile hotspot frequenty disconnects and requires you to manually re-enable the hotspot by disabling/re-enabling the Wi-Fi adapter and then re-enabling the Mobile hotspot.

Quick Start

• Save the two files below to your desktop.
• Right-click on hotspot-keepalive.bat and select Run as administrator.
