This seems to be new behavior with 26.0.1? I turn on the hotspot on my iPhone 17 Pro and connect my (windows 11) laptop. Al works as expected.... for a while. Then after maybe 5 minutes I suddenly notice the laptop no longer has a connection and the phone hotspot has turned off. I turn the hotspot back on and the laptop connects again.... and remains connected until I manually disconnect.

I don't often use the hotspot but we're in a motel this weekend and yesterday and today this has happened every time I have used the hotspot. But before this I can't remember ever having the hotspot spontaneously turn off unless I manually disconnected or put the laptop to sleep.

How to figure out which end of the connection caused the disconnect......

Anyone else?
