Howto set Microsoft Virtual Wifi Miniport Adapter as default

In summary, the group member had set up a Microsoft Virtual Wifi Miniport Adapter through the administration command prompt to use as a wifi hotspot for other devices. However, it disappears after shutting down the computer and needs to be set up again through the command prompt. They are seeking advice on how to make it appear automatically at startup without needing to run the command prompt again. Another group member suggested putting the instructions in a .bat file and configuring it to run at startup, which worked successfully. The original member thanks them for the suggestion.

Dear Group,

I just set up a Microsoft Virtual Wifi Miniport Adapter using administration command prompt, its function as wifi hot spot, so the other devices could use this hot spot for the internet.
( )

But whenever I shutdown the computer and turn it on, I can not find it, I have to use administration command prompt again to make it appear, like: netsh wlan star hostednetwork.

Can I set it as the default, so whenever I turn on computer, it will be there so I do not need to run cmd again?

Please give me advises...!

Thank you, group.

You could put the instructions in a .bat file and then configure your laptop to run that at startup.
