hotspot issue

My iPhone 13 pro hotspot worked on my Dell laptop one night and then the next night- my Dell laptop gave a notice that a ‘configuration’ had changed and then the name of my iPhone hotspot disappeared and no longer shows on the list of available networks.

Check Settings > Cellular > Personal Hotspot


Look at the information that reads......."Allow other users or devices not signed into iCloud to look for your shared network "(Your Name iPhone)........" etc.


Is this the same Wi-Fi name that has appeared before, or has it changed?


We understand that the Dell laptop is having issues, but can other devices still connect to your Hotspot?
