Prevent Hotspot from automatically starting after system startup

  • 772

I used Hotspot to share my Internet connection with my phone for some time. Since then, whenever I start my PC, Hotspot directly starts and I can not use Wi-Fi (on my PC) unless I turn the Hotspot connection off.
Is there a way to stop Hotspot from automatically start?

networking hot-spot 18.04

    I fixed my problem by following these steps:

    1. Run the command nmcli con show.
      • A list of the known networks will be displayed.
    2. Run the command nmcli con mod <connection-name> connection.autoconnect no.
      • This will prevent the Hotspot connection from starting automatically.

    (Optional) If you want to delete the Hotspot connection permanently, follow these steps:

    • Run ls /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections.
    • A list of the known networks will be displayed.
    • Run sudo rm <connection-name>.
