i had problem though don't have third party anti-virus managing firewall.

i have third party anti-virus, not firewall.

judging traffic in forum, lot of people have had problems mobile hotspots , internet connection sharing since november 2017 updates. people have had success resetting windows firewall settings (particularly if there's related spike in cpu load).

i'm trying link threads together. first thread can find simple fix of resetting firewall is mobile hotspot feature not working after fall creators update(1709).

i did technical analysis on system in thread  problems internet connection sharing after 2017-11 windows 10 update [temporary fix found].
