Mouse Keyboard Suddenly Stopped Working and Then Ad-Hoc Connection is Missing

So I was browsing HF and suddenly the mouse and the keyboard stopped functioning. The lights on my mouse and keyboard were normal but they were not working.

I restarted the computer and now my mouse, keyboard, and everything is working fine.

But I noticed that my ad-hoc connection which I created for accessing Wi-Fi on my phone is now missing when I click on Network icon from the tray on the right side of taskbar.

Rather than using Window's very vulnerable native Ad Hoc networking for your PC to phone/other devices hotspot sharing use the far more secure and flexible Connectify www.connectify.me (PAID) or any of the FREE equivalent alternatives here http://beebom.com/connectify-alternatives/ to perform the function. Rather than a problem consider your ad hoc hiccup a blessing that lead to a better system solution to MS's poor system 🙂

Take care
But even that will require the PCI 802.11 Wireless Express Card, right? That itself is missing from the Device Manager. Would it still work?
