Accessing Wifi Direct Features on ROG Zephyrus G14 GA402RJ

Hi,  I am trying to set up wifi direct on my computer.  My goal is to create a wifi hotspot on my laptop without any actual internet connection that I can connect other devices can connect to.  So far I have followed bits and pieces of these three threads:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/3856330/microsoft-wifi-direct-virtual-adapter

and

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/3856214/how-to-get-the-microsoft-wifi-direct-virtual-netwo

and

https://superuser.com/questions/1783835/can-i-create-a-wireless-ad-hoc-network-in-windows-11

 

My windows version is:

So when I type `ipconfig /all` I get more than can fit into a single screenshot, so this is the first part

and it continues with "

Wireless LAN adapter Wi-Fi:

   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
   Description . . . . . . . . . . . : MediaTek Wi-Fi 6E MT7922 160MHz Wireless LAN Card  ... [etc]"

 

When I type `netsh wlan show drivers`  I get the following results:

when i enable "show hidden devices" in device manager, this is what i see:

I tried to update the MediaTek driver with "Search automatically" and got this result:

Windows says I am up to date:

I don't really know this is in advanced settings, but I'll include a screenshot in case it is relevant:

 

 

In summary, I would like to create a wifi network on my laptop that is not just an extension of my wifi network for devices to connect to locally, but I can't seem to figure out how to do this.  This is what I currently see:

Thank you.

    To set up a Wi-Fi Direct hotspot on your ROG Zephyrus G14 GA402RJ without an internet connection, you'll want to create an ad-hoc wireless network that other devices can connect to directly. Windows 10/11 supports creating a mobile hotspot, but for Wi-Fi Direct (peer-to-peer), you might need to use specific commands or third-party tools.
