Cell phone hotspot not working? What can I do?

I think my problem is already recognizable from the question heading.
For my laptop (Windows 10) I would actually like to use my mobile phone hotspot on my iPhone X.
But it just doesn't work.
The mobile phone already recognizes the laptop and I have configured all the settings so that it should actually connect, but nothing happens.

Very frustrating over time…

Has anyone perhaps already had experience with it or has an idea what I could still try, apart from switching the cell phone or laptop off and on?
(Incidentally, I also have enough data volume.)
