If hosted network could not be started or isn't supported you can try using Wi-Fi Direct with apps like "WiFi Direct Access Point" that you find in Microsoft App Store of Windows 10.

If you find yourself with a modem but no router, you can share one computer’s connection to other devices with a few commands. You’ll need to ensure that your computer has a wired and wireless network connection, or a data and Wi-Fi connection. The wireless connection can be shared and used by other computers, tablets and phones.
