I have been using Windows 10 Mobile hotspot feature since the launch of Anniversary Update. It is quite handy where deal with command prompt to start a hostednetwork with interface.
But I come across this issue where the hotspot will turn off automatically after a period of time (not sure what is the timeout, probably 5 minutes I guess) when no device is connected to the hotspot which makes me very frustrated to turn it on every time after leaving for a while.
Using hostednetwork with command prompt have no issue of turning off itself even no device is connected until system shutdown or sleep.

I think all Windows 10 users that using this Mobile hotspot feature have the same problem, probably one of the Windows 10's feature to save power.
Anyone have solution to prevent this feature turning off when no device connected?
*don't tell me that using command prompt to start hostednetwork will solve the problem (of course I know it will do but this is not the solution)
