Alternatively in case of No network access and No internet access you can run following commands from command prompt with administrator rights as it works for me instead of disabling/enabling the adapter.
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=AnyNetwork key=password
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=MyNetwork key=password
netsh wlan start hostednetwork



Error:
The hosted network could not be started.
