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

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

I had the tethering problem on my iPhone SE with Windows 10. This picture solved the issue.
