Mypersonal hotspot stopped working altogether immediately following the 9.3.1 update on my 6s+. It does not appear to have any correlation to Wondows 10. i use my hotspot daily for business, and it worked fine (although often finicky) on Windows 10 with iOS 9.3. It often required turning the hotspot on / off a few times before Windows would recognize it. I get nothing now when I enable it. No blue banner at the top, and certainly no available connection with Windows 10. It looks like Apple botched something again. I was curious, were you able to get yours working?
THANK YOU! Although I couldn't read the text in the image, your one sentence instruction, "Try to manually update iPhone driver in Device Manager while tethering turned on. Just specify location C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\NetDrivers ," told me everything I needed to know...and I had already tried for TWO days to get my personal hotspot work with my new computer at work!! Thank you, again!
If you follow exactly the picture in @tagsquadsnp 's post, you will soon become very happy in which was a long stressful day of uninstalling and reinstalling drivers and software. Why does something so difficult turn out to be such an easy fix?
We are also having this issue with my mother-in-law's iPhone 6 and Windows 10. When she was visiting 2 weeks ago, we updated to iOS 9.3.2. When she got home, she tried getting on the internet with her Lenovo ideaPad 500, running Windows 10, and, even though the computer detects the phone when it's plugged in (you get the audible connection alerts and the phone will show up as a device in the system settings) iTunes doesn't see the phone and no network connection gets established. There were Windows updates that applied to her laptop while she was here and connected to our network. It is entirely possible it's Microsoft's fault, but we have no way to test, since all phones in our possession are at 9.3.2.
We can get the computer to connect via the WiFi hotspot, but my mother-in-law is not technologically literate, and even I can't get Apple's WiFi hotspot to work/connect consistently on any device without being cajoled.
Yes, Windows 10 have USB tethering. You can easily connect your mobile to your PC with the help of a compatible USB cable. After connecting, ensure the NDIS BASED Internet Sharing Device adapter is enabled.
If you are facing USB tethering or your USB tethering is not working, it may be because of the outdated network adapter. In such a case, you must update the network driver and try the tethering process again.
Suppose you are facing the issue of Windows 10 USB tethering not functioning. In that case, it may be because The driver is corrupted, tethering drivers for Windows 10 are missing, or because of an outdated driver.
To fix this issue, you must update the driver. You can do it manually by downloading and installing the latest version of the network adaptor driver from its official website or with the help of any third-party tool. If you are not a technical person and have quick fixes, we will recommend you update the driver with the help of a reliable third-party tool, such as EaseUS DriverHandy.

Yes, yes! I am having difficulty getting my Samsung Galaxy A03s to connect to a Windows 10 Laptop for the purpose of tethering. My laptop searched high and low, but was unable to find any drivers! [Sad saxophone]
Yo! So, I used Smart Switch and went through the reinstall USB driver process, but I am not sure if it completed. There was no dialogue box that confirmed that it had been done. There was no identification of what driver I had before the process started, and after it had completed. The dialogue box itself was mental: take it out ... put it back in. [Yuk]
Easy! I have also installed Samsung Android USB Driver For Windows v1.7.48, and it has made no difference. After this, and before Smart Switch, I managed to download Kies, but just the once, after many attempts. After I ran it, I had to use "sfc/scannow," as there was a problem with file corruption on my lappers, but was then unable to download Kies from the Samsung website after that. [Tut]
Boop, boop, boop - badman! As an elderly man, whose human form is rapidly deteriorating, which will result in my Godly form ascending to ... yeah, that place, I find all this searching for drivers frustrating -- I will not allow Earth technology to defeat me! Does anyone know how to get a Samsung Galaxy A03s to connect to a Windows 10 Laptop, so it can be used for tethering?
@Raging_Bananas Hello, 1.On Windows - Please confirm that you have the drivers installed on Windows.See screenshot 1.
2. On the phone: Settings/Applications click on the area indicated in the screenshot 2, activate Show system applications and confirm. Look for the USB Settings App and in Storage delete the cache and data and restart the phone. Check again.
I'm attempting to help an elderly friend. Until recently he has been accessing the internet from his old Windows XP machine (for email only) via a Telstra supplied 4G Wifi router, plugged into a USB port. This was working, but a relative with good intentions bought him an upgrade and replaced his working router with the Nighthawk LTE Mobile Hotspot Router Model MR1100. It would seem he has had no internet connection for the past 5 months - he was actually a little confused and thought things were just running slow and the inbound emails would eventually turn up. A quick inspection of his machine reveals that XP has been unable to locate any drivers for MR1100, and so it shows up as an unknown device. Since this is the only access path to the internet for the XP machine to find drivers, he's stuck in a "catch 22" situation where to get an internet connection he needs the drivers, but to get the drivers he needs an internet connection.
If the XP machine has an Ethernet NIC then you can plug in via Ethernet. Depending on the FW version you are on, you may need to tap the power button to wake up the Ethernet port. If you are plugged in via USB to PC then the Ethernet port shuts off until USB tethering is no longer happening.
Yep, that's the page I already found. His XP machine clearly indicates that it doesn't have a driver for this device - "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28) To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Driver." Clicking this button however fails to find a suitable driver locally and this is where we hit the problem of requiring internet access in order to fix the problem of not having internet access. Perhaps the required drivers are not specific to the MR1100 but are more generic, only they weren't part of the original XP or service packs. If so, perhaps someone knows of a locatin for drivers for this class of device?
According to the documentation this router can be used in USB tethering mode via the USB C socket (the USB A port is for attaching peripherals such as external hard disk). (From my own observation I would say this is slightly inaccurate as this is a micro-USB rather than a USB C port but the port in question is clearly the one referred to in the diagram in the manual.)
Every peripheral requires a driver, but the drivers for most peripherals either come with the Windows OS or are downloaded automatically when Windows first detects new hardware. Go into device manager and right click on a peripheral to see its properties and then choose the Driver tab and you will see details of the driver in use. For this device if I do this I see the details in my previous post, i.e. the lack of a suitable driver.

I know approximately nothing about these gizmos, and you already seem
to know more than the forum "experts", but...

That's how I read it.

As the User Manual says:
To connect the mobile router to the USB port on your computer:
[...]
Your computer automatically connects to the mobile router LAN
(local area network). The first time you connect this way,
your computer might display notifications about detecting a
new device.
[...]
And that's when it would happen. I have no idea how this thing presents
itself to Windows. Perhaps some generic network adapter?
> [...] Go into device manager and right click on a peripheral to see

While you're in the neighborhood, you might instead try the Details
tab, and, under that, Hardware IDs:
If you can extract the USB Device and Vendor IDs, then you might be able
to use those data to help find some associated software.
The easy way might be to take the whole collection to some other site
(with better Internet access), and see if Windows Update (or something)
can find something more automatically.
