In attempting to activate the network I got the following message -
The hosted network couldn?t be started.
The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation.

I have no idea what this means or how to fix the problem.

I faced the same complaint. Fixed it by uninstalling and installing WiFi adapter driver by going to device manager.
