I want to create a hotspot in my windows 10 system but it shouldn't be having any authentication. Currently I would see without password I can't create hotspot.
Does windows support password less hotspot?

Hi ,
Try to use following command:
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=anything key=
Keep the key string empty.

If it doesn't work, then there is no build-in way could create a hotspot without password in windows. You need to use some third-party tool to create the hotspot without passwrod.

Already tried this option but didn't work.
It gave error when we run the "netsh wlan start hostednetwork"
What's the exact error message when you run netsh wlan start hostednetwork? Please post it.
@Akhil G Nair,
Hosted Networks and Ad Hoc Networks are not supported on Windows 10.
Run NETSH WLAN show drivers. If the generated output shows Hosted network supported: Yes. It means wireless adapter supports Hosted Networks.
