Why does my hotspot keep disconnecting

I have an issue after i updated to iOS 15.1 on my phone. I cannot share my mobile data to PC via personal hotspot. The connection would stay for about 3-5 minutes then gets disconnected. The PC then tries to reconnect or sometimes cannot discover the network. I have to toggle the personal hotspot switch on and off and it keeps me from really doing the work.

if someone knows what could be done please help.

Some facts:

PC is using Windows 10

iPhone XR is now on iOS 15.1

mobile data plan is unlimited (and paid)

No wi-fi network in my place

iPhone XR, iOS 15
