For me  running the ad-hoc network on Windows 8 1  it was two things    I had to set a static IP on my Android  under Advanced Options under where you type the Wifi password  I had to use a password 8 characters long   Any IP will allow you to connect  but if you want internet access the static IP should match the subnet from the shared internet connection   I m not sure why I couldn t get a longer password to work  but it s worth a try  Maybe a more knowledgeable person could fill us in

Problem solved    Just drop down status bar  touch Choose input method  then change to another input method  type the password again  And everything is OK    So weird     Solution from a Chinese BBS   Thanks for the answer s author and all above who try to provide a solution  thanks

I had a similar problem and I solved it by setting a static IP on the Android device   When you add the network on Android  first you enter the SSID and password  then underneath you can open advanced options and set a static IP

Use these commands on a windows command prompt cmd  with administrator privilege  run as administrator    netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode allow ssid tests key tests123  netsh wlan start hostednetwork   Then you go to Network and sharing center and click on  change adapter settings   I m using windows 7  it can be a little different on windows 8   Then right click on the lan connection  internet connection that you are using   properties   Click on sharing tab  select the wireless connection tests  the name tests you can change on the command line  and check  Allow other network users to connect through this network connection   This done  your connection is ready to use

It s a bit of a guess but could the quotes around happy be the problem  There have been some problems in the past where Android would either add or not recognize quotes around an SSID  Try setting up the hosted network connection again  but without the quotes that we see in the output for netsh wlan show hostednetwork

I am using Windows 10 Home edition   I tried various combination   netsh wlan show drivers netsh wlan show hostednetwork netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode allow ssid happy key 12345678 netsh wlan start hostednetwork   and also   Control Panel Network and Internet Network Connections Ethernet Properties Sharing Internet Connection Sharing Allow other network users to connect through this computer Internet connection      But still cannot activate WiFi hotspot   While I have given up  somehow I click on Network icon on the taskbar  suddenly I see the buttons     Wi-Fi     Airplane Mode     Mobile hotspot     Just like how our mobile phone can enable Mobile hotspot  Windows 10 has Mobile hotspot build-in  Just click on   Mobile hotspot   button and it works
