I am sharing one of my Internet connections to another computer, and the shared connection has a problem like this:
after rebooting the host computer, the shared interface is showing "shared" indication, but actually it is not sharing the connection at all, i have to disable the sharing manually and share it to the original interface again to make it work. I think this is a bug and i am expecting it will automatically share the connection after rebooting or reactivation. Chould this be fixed?

I face the same problem. My computer is connected to internet via LAN and shares with a USB-c hub that has a LAN interface. I have to disable and enable internet sharing on the first interface EVERY reboot. I couldn't find another workaround either (like restarting ICS service, or preventing the devices to be turned off to save power)
Hello,
Normally, if you've configured Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) to share an internet connection, it should persist through reboots, and the shared interface should be automatically re-established.
You may check the "Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)" service is set to start automatically and check for any startup delays. ICS may also depend on other services to function correctly. Check if there are any dependencies or related services that might not be starting as expected during the system startup.
i have checked ICS and related services, ICS is now set to start automatically and so are it's dependencies. i even set the guest computer's ip address to static. unluckily, after rebooting the host computer i still need a manual restart to reshare the interface. Will you be kind to test my case so you can check if it is only happening to me or it is a general problem? just need 2 net cards, set a wire-guard vpn using tun mode and share the tun vertual-interface to the available interface on another net card, and connect another computer to that card's network slot and set the guest computer's ip accordingly.
