Laoptop with Intel ax200 would not connect to any mobile hotspot

Ok I now understand , I have tried with many phones and routers , the ax200 can only connect to 5GHz networks and the 2.4GHz Dual band only (300 mbs) , the 2.4GHz Single band (150 mbs) which is how most Mobile Hotspots are are not supported on the ax200 , despite they do show as an option in driver's properties , they are vanilla , they do not work , hopefully they fix it in next driver release .

I was under the impression that when you said in your opening post
Now ever since the w10 2004 update and I can't connect to any hotspot shared by an android mobile (which is my method of connectivity when on the move) .

I was under that impression until I realized this , i always have auto update drivers disabled in windows because usually windows update force on me glitchy drivers . then i realized that its the norm with feature updates to force install new drivers on you and that is what they did (on latest intel's driver atm) . Now honestly I wasn't keen on remembering what older version I had installed that never gave me those hassles because wifi driver problems are pretty rare to me .

Now if you consult forums regarding either of the intel 9260 or the ax200 you'd realize that often supporters direct people to use specific older versions of drivers to help with specific issues they have on latest ones so this is the norm apparently to intel's latest flagship wifi cards . Just my problem is i've seen no particular problem similar to mine , usually the problem is with an actual router not a mobile ap . I tried to locate and install these drivers but still , so this in particular is what i need help about as i am on the move and cant abuse my data plan nor risk get blue screens etc .

As for the manual , they can state anything they want , still i have tried every possible combo yet for setting up the driver and still no connection .

now the phones i am trying with are either samsungs or huwauis and while samsung made it a standard to keep using the wireless n single band for its access points up till recently when 10 series decided to catch up to the 5 ghz standard .

now huwauis are another case , ever since the beginning and they offered the option to switch between 2.4 and 5 ghz , they default to 5 ghz one actually , so apparently no problems with these just that i dont have a huwaui phone nor do i plan to get one .

there is however something that triggered my comment about intel planning to deprecate those standards of wifi as in some of the ax200 pages they claim that the card may have issues with "Legacy" access points (un-naming them) where they suggest turning off certain features which still didnt work for me .

so basically any additional suggestions are appreciated .

Thank you very much for all the support , I updated the OP with my findings so to save it on people to read out till the end to find the solution .
