Unable to get my iPhone 6+'s personal hotspot (USB) to work in my new, updated 64-bit W10 Pro PC.

Hello.


I'm having problems getting my ten days old, updated 64-bit W10 Pro PC to connect to my old iPhone 6+ (iOS v12.5.3)'s personal hotspot with Verizon Wireless and USB cable. W10 doesn't see my iPhone at all for network and Internet. I have no problems with my 12 years old, updated 64-bit W7 HPE SP1 PC though.


I looked around in my 64-bit W10 and noticed its device manager show Other devices -> iPhone. I tried to update driver, but Windows couldn't find any. I thought iTunes v12.11.3.17 (already tried repairing it to reinstall) provided them already. My 64-bit W10 Pro can see iPhone's internal storage for images and videos (DCIM). iTunes can see it too for sync, back ups, etc. Why no network connection for hotspot? My desktop PCs don't have wifi so they have to use USB. :(


Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

Windows, Windows 6
