My laptop (Windows 10) only recognises my iphone hotspot (no problem with other wifi) if I turn off wifi on the laptop, turn the hotspot off and on then turn laptop wifi on. Any suggestions?

You can connect to the iPhone HotSpot and disconnect from existing wireless in one operation.
Be aware that if existing wireless is working well and iPhone gets wireless from the same point, that this may not work well. I have this here and have tried it.

This is entirely normal - nothing wrong.
