USB tethering of iPhone 7 doesn't work on Windows 10

Hi,

Can anyone help with this please?

I followed the steps here to set up USB tethering of my iphone to my Win 10 laptop but it doesn't work: https://www.howtogeek.com/213203/how-to-use-your-iphone’s-hotspot-or-a-usb-cable-for-tethering/

I have the latest version of iTunes installed on the laptop and my iphone appears as connected but it does not appear when I click 'Show available networks' in the network status window.

In my Device Manager, it also appears as 'Unknown device' under 'Other devices' (maybe this is the problem - if so, where do I find a suitable driver to update the missing driver?) and as Apple iPhone' under 'Portable Devices' . I can't see anything under
the 'Network adapaters' category that suggests it is connected.

Many thanks

Jon

 

USB tethering of iPhone 7 doesn't work on Windows 10

Hi again

Yes, iOS is up to date and wifi tethering works fine, it's the USB tethering that's the problem.

I uninstalled the iPhone in device manager as you suggested, restarted the laptop, then reconnected the iPhone via USB and I now have a new Network adapter appearing in device manager called Apple Mobile Device Ethernet and no unknown device under Other
devices.

USB tethering with the iPhone is now working - hooray!

There is still no sign of a Mobile Device Support folder in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple though so I guess I just got lucky. If it fails again, I'll try cross posting
in https://discussions.apple.com/community/iphone/using_iphone as you suggest.

Many thanks for your help.

 

Windows 10 and Iphone USB tethering

Thanks Wilfredo.

But the iphone is able to connect to Windows 10 laptop. The problem is I am not able to use USB tethering because under the network, the apple ethernet driver has an exclamation mark.
