My laptop hotspot uses Microsoft wifi direct virtual adapter #2 on my laptop. hotspot works as normal when i enable hotspot. however when i off hotspot the ssid of the network still appears from another device like my phone (isnt it supposed to be off?) and furthermore the ssid changes from <hotspot name> to DIRECT<hotspot name>msGo? any one can advice i really need help on this i cant find help on google OR do you recommend me to contact microsoft? thank you very very much in advance.

This sounds to me like your device has WIFI Direct turned on. The only way to turn this off afaik is through CMD.

 

Open Start, type: CMD

Right click CMD
Click Run as administrator

 

Type in at the prompt OR Copy and Paste these one at a time : (Hit enter after each)

netsh wlan stop hostednetwork

 

Then type:

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=disallow

 

Hit Enter

Exit then restart.
