You could try the following troubleshooting steps, one at a time:

1. Try setting up your hotspot in a fresh user account
2. Install a second desktop environment and see if that helps
Note to self and others: SysVinit is a good option. However if you run into problems try with systemd first. This applies to AppImages, Flatpaks, GitHub packages and even some Debian packages.
