Windows 10: Can't get Internet access from iPhone 6s with USB cable

This is a perpetual issue: After an update (not sure if it's on the Windows or iPhone side), I can no longer get an Internet connection through my iPhone 6s with a USB cable. I've lost track of how many times this problem has arisen.

In the past, I've fixed it by:

(1) Updating the USB driver (Apple Mobile Device USB Device) - OR

(2) Turning off IPv6 in the wireless network adapter.

But this time, I can't figure it out. The computer can see the iPhone as a USB device, so I can access its hard drive through File Explorer. And iTunes recognizes the iPhone. So it's not the USB cable, and the driver seems to be up to date. But I can't establish an Internet hotspot connection with a USB cable. (I can do so through a wireless connection, but this is problematic for other reasons.)

Any other ideas?
Thanks

:)

 

PC not allowing Sync with iphone

So I plug my iPhone 6S into the USB, in order to sync music on my PC to iPhone. In both Windows Media Player and iTunes, I get nothing but "Connect Device". I have tried all USB ports on the PC, several different cords. The PC is reccognizing the iPhone
is connected, but I can't sync the music. ****???

 

Windows 10 not recognizing iPhone 6, iTunes does

I followed this solution and it works. I click the Device Manager, under USB, I found the iPhone 6s (sorry I can't remember exactly the name). Right click to uninstalled the driver. Unplug my iPhone 6s, then plug it back in, now it is showing in This
PC.

I hope this helps.

 

Welcome to the forum. You need your network set to DHCP or it won't work as it has to get IP from phone.it can be connected a few ways it's often the iTunes driver that's at fault

 

OK, thanks -- can you give me a hint as to how to do this? I Googled it but, I didn't find what I need to do, I think.
