BSS type not valid, Error 0x8000D, Unable to modify ad-hoc network profile on Windows 10

Question

_{Saturday, March 25, 2017 2:28 PM}

All,

I posted this problem at the Microsoft Community forum and they advised that I post it here.

I am encountering an error when running the following command on windows 10, 32-bit:

>>netsh wlan set profileparameter TestNetwork connectiontype=ibss connectionmode=manual

Failed to modify the profile.  Error 0x8000D: The BSS type is not valid.

What could be causing this?  I set up a manual network (via Networking and Sharing center) and entered the passcode and set to "do not connect automatically" before attempting this.  I searched online elsewhere and found nothing relating to the particular network card I use:

Realtek RTL8723BS Wireless LAN 802.11n SDIO Network Adapter, driver version 3008.30.315.2016.

I am able to run the command and connect successfully to the ad-hoc network on another machine (using a Broadcom wireless card).  Is there something I am not doing correctly?  Any help would be very appreciated. 

Regards,

Ron
