It's not completely clear what you are trying to achieve.

and i wanted to connect it to the laptop ( not the router)

That implies you want your laptop to act as the wireless access point and your Pi as the client.

turned on radio button " obtain ip address automatically "

That implies that you want your Pi to be the access point and your laptop to be the client.

The IP address 169.254.193.83 indicates that your laptop failed to find a DHCP server (to give it a real IP address). So, if your Pi is set up as an access point, and the laptop is connecting to it, you just need to change "Obtain an IP address automatically" to specifying an address in the same range as the Pi's.

As a matter of interest, if you have a router, why do you want to connect laptop and Pi directly?

You appear to not have Windows Connection Sharing set up correctly.

No changes should be required on the RPi unless you want Static IP.
