Windows 10: Huawei Laptops- safe to buy?

Hi, guys so I've been needing a new laptop for a while and found the new Matebooks perfect for me in terms of price and capability. But the whole US ban in terms of Microsoft not being able to work with Huawei is a bit worrying because the Microsoft platform is very important to me. Been trying to research more about it all but I've been finding conflicting things. For example, if I bought a Matebook with the Microsoft platform would it be taken away again in terms of updates if the relationship status between the two companies changes again due to US ban? Is anyone able to help with this or know anything extra? Thanks!!

Firstly, if you are experiencing problems with your Huawei E3276 USB Modem hanging ( Connecting ) after upgrading Windows 10 to 1703 Creators edition, try this as it fixed my problem after all other suggestions failed.

First of all make sure your USB Modem is plugged into your usual USB port and do the following.

Click on Windows Start icon in lower left corner of your screen, then select Settings - Click on Network Internet - on left hand side click on Cellular, then UNTICK " Let Windows manage this connection ", then click on " Advanced Options " and go to APN settings and change Default Internet APN from " Automatic " to whatever your known ISP setting is by clicking on the box with the drop down menu and selecting it from the list, mine was Optus Yes Internet, then after selecting your APN setting, scroll down the page and just check that your Modem is listed under Properties - Manufacturer = Huawei.

Close the Settings Window and test your Modem again, if it now works your problem should be solved, if it doesn't, try rebooting your computer and try connecting again and if all has returned to normal create a System Restore Point and call it Modem Fix after Creators Update......I hope this fix solves your problem.

 

Ban of Huawei laptops in MS Store

Thanks for your answer, Mark!

Yea I figured the community might not be the best place but getting in touch with the right people for this issue has proven itself to be very difficult.

So you are suggesting contacting Huawei directly although I purchased the laptop over the MS Store?
