Hi Kalyan_K,

Enable the "Allow the computer to turn off the device to save power" power management option for the wireless network adapter using the following steps:

  1. Press Windows + R on the keyboard, and then type control panel in the search box and press Enter.
  2. Select System and Security.
  3. Select Device Manager under System.
  4. Select and expand the Network adapters from the list of devices.
  5. Find the wireless network adapter and right-click on it and select Properties.
  6. Select the Power Management tab.
  7. Under the Power Management tab, make sure the following option is checked (enabled): Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.

Your wifi must be turned off... Turn on your wifi by going to the network connection icon in the system tray....

You can follow this Tutorial to configure wifi hotspot from my blog...
