networking - How can I start hostednetwork on Windows 8

I have the same problems as the guys over
How can I start hostednetwork on Windows 7? and Can't get hostednetwork started in Windows 8 x64
But none of the solutions worked for me. I don't know why. I also followed multiple tutorials.
http://www.talkofweb.com/netsh-wlan-hostednetwork-the-hosted-network-could-not-be-started/ http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/faq/id-1879130/turn-wifi-hotspot.html
None of them worked either. The problem: When I'm typing in netsh wlan start hostednetwork
I always get the error
The hosted network couldn't be started. The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation.
My output netsh wlan show drivers is german, but maybe you can still understand :o
To help: It says under "supports hosted networks = YES"

When I type in admin console command to start hostednetwork netsh wlan start hostednetwork it gives me this: The hosted network couldn't be started.
The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation.
There is a hotfix from Microsoft but it didn't help me. Any advice?

Had the same problem. Tried everything - updating Intel 5100 Wifi drivers, updating Windows 7, uninstalled and reinstalled devices and so on.
It turned out that the Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter wasn't working.
To make sure it's working do the following:
- Open an elevated Command Prompt window
- Type:
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow

Assuming you are trying to create a virtual WiFi, or a SoftAP...
You will get this message in a few cases; two of the biggest:
- You have another WiFi entwork setup with the same SSID.
- Your WiFi card or driver does not support it:
This feature requires that a Hosted Network capable wireless adapter is installed in the local computer. The driver for the wireless adapter must implement the wireless LAN device driver model defined by Microsoft for use on Windows 7. To receive the Windows 7 logo, a wireless driver must implement the wireless Hosted Network feature.
If your hardware supports being a SoftAP, then ensure you've updated it's driver to the latest.
If you can provide more information about your hardware and network setup we may be able to help determine further.

I have had the same issue recently on Windows 8 and had to reset the interface by uninstalling and then reinstalling it from the device manager.

Uninstalling the wireless adapter, then reinstalling the driver for the adapter, reinstated the ability to start the virtual adapter. However, i now have the same problem as many others - no internet connectivity from the peripheral device. Despite the ubiquity of this problem, it is fascinating that there is no simple/obvious solution. any help appreciated.

I think you should this:
- go to network and setting.
- go to adapter setting.
- right click on you WIFI adapter and disable it.
- right click again and enable it.
This might solve your problem.
