USB personal hotspot tethering Windows 10 & iPhone 6s Plus not working.

Hi,

I am having trouble using my personal Hotspot via USB with my iPhone 6s Plus and Windows 10.

Personal hotspot works via wifi, iTunes can recognise my device, and so does windows explorer.

When I activate personal hotspot via usb from my phone though, Windows network doesnt pick it up.

There is no new internet connection detected.

I think this is a driver issue on windows 10.

Anyone have ate any ideas on how to fix it?

I've already done several restarts of both phone and PC, plus a uninstall, reboot, install again of iTunes

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 9.3.1, Windows 10, 64 bit, updated

My personal 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?
