No, the Wi-Fi Direct doesn't get automatically activated.
I use Feem software to share files, but when I click on "Turn on Wi-Fi Direct" , it says Hotspot stopped.

Also sometimes it shows a cmd window stating that "The WLAN AutoConfig service is stopping"

I can go by turning on hotspot or wifi direct on my phone and then connecting my PC with that, but still If someday I had to share files between two laptops or desktops without using USB or any type of drive, then I will be in trouble.
By the way, when I look at the
WLAN drivers, then the Hosted Network Support
is stated No If it is required (I don't know)

Thanks for listening to me for so long
and please tell me what the hosted network support does, Will the disabled Hosted Network not allow me to create Wi-Fi Direct connection? Or it has to do with something else. Can't I turn it on somehow because I think that it can
allow me to create multiple Hotpots according to some tutorial videos on youtube
Also sometimes the Wi-Fi Itself has started to disappear nowadays, even from settings.
Troubleshooting makes the Wi-Fi come back stating that Device is not enabled and the cable is not properly plugged.
