I'm using windows 10 and I often have to start a wifi hotspot manually from cmd. So, I was thinking maybe I could write some code so that I don't have to write the commands again and again but I have no experience with .bat files.
This is how I start the hotspot:
cmd as administrator netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=AdHoc key=password netsh wlan start hostednetwork The hardest part of this is to run a .bat file as admin automatically, without even right-clicking on it. You need to save this code as a .bat file:
@ECHO OFF
:: this tests if the file is running as admin
>nul 2>&1 "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\cacls.exe" "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\config\system"
if '%errorlevel%' NEQ '0' (GOTO askAdmin)
GOTO gotAdmin
:askAdmin
>nul 2>&1 "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\cacls.exe" "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\config\system"
if '%errorlevel%' NEQ '0' (
echo Requesting administrative privileges...
goto UACPrompt
) else ( goto gotAdmin )
:UACPrompt
echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) > "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
echo UAC.ShellExecute "%~s0", "", "", "runas", 1 >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
"%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
exit /B
:gotAdmin
if exist "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" ( del "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" )
::from this point you can execute your command as admin
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=AdHoc key=password
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
Note that this does show the "Run this program as admin?" prompt when started without administrative priviliges, but if you right-click this batch-file and choose run as admin it should immediately execute the command you want it to execute
Oh, this is solution for you.
Let create shortcut, every you want turn on wifi, you need only click => ok !
Start: netsh wlan start hostednetwork
Stop: netsh wlan stop hostednetwork
Right click shortcut / Properties / Advanced... / Tick Run as administrator/ ok / Apply / ok.
