Windows Central Question
internet sharing turned on by another device
If internet sharing is turned off on my phone I can still see it as a wifi connection option on my laptop. If I am logged in to my same windows account on my phone and my laptop, I can select my phone as a wifi connection and it will turn on the internet sharing on my phone and connect without asking for a password. From another laptop, not logged into the same windows account I can see the phone in the wifi connections, but it asks for a password to connect. All this is done when my internet sharing is turned off on my phone.
