Of course, only you can do this.
You can turn on your PC, go to the available WiFi networks and select the one generated by your smartphone. The computer will activate this network without you having to touch the mobile , so you will save a step.

Only some Windows 11 users can currently access the feature. Also, it only works on Samsung devices running One UI 4.1 or higher. But don’t worry, it’s only a matter of time before other manufacturers allow remote activation of the access point and the function begins to be available on other devices.
