Enable Windows 10 Mobile Hotspot Automatically and Keep Alive Script

❤️ Sponsor This Project

The following script enables the Windows 10 Wifi Mobile Hotspot and keeps it enabled and active.

The included PowerShell script and associated batch file can be executed once to continuously monitor and keep the Windows 10 Wifi Mobile Hotspot turned on.

Quick Start

1. Copy the two script files to a folder on your computer: hotspot-keepalive.ps1 and hotspot-keepalive.bat
2. Edit the path in hotspot-keepalive.bat to point to the directory where you saved the two files.
3. Run the file hotspot-keepalive.bat.

Additional Notes

• Logs are saved in C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp\StartupLog.txt.
• Enable Windows 10 Mobile Hotspot Automatically After Reboot.
