Hey Donna,
Actually the time out issue is on Apples’s end as it does it no matter what your connected to. Android is much better and more forgiving when using it as a hotspot.

That’s ridiculous! Just another reason to hate Windows. 😊 Thanks, Joe, for this tip. I would never have guessed that that was the problem.

First is have the screen open to the hotspot screen on your ipHone also make sure that share hotspot with others is turned on your iPhone. If you screen goes to sleep during the session and your computer isn’t downloading anything or sending some sort of data it will go to sleep and disconnect your hotspot. I actually set my phone to screen never lock when I am using this.

I don’t know how well this works with non-Apple devices, though, as I’ve always used it with a Mac.
