How to set PDAnet as metered connection?

I am trying to meter a connection on my laptop. It's a little different, not sure if you can help. I have the creator's update and did go in and set my ethernet to metered and it shows as such. I have also set most of the wifi's I use the same (there's a couple that I don't want metered so I can do WU if needed). BUT, I used to tether my phone to the laptop and use the phone data thru Foxfi. With a recent update to the android system (nougat), you can no longer tether your phone wirelessly. You have to plug the phone in by usb and open PDAnet on the laptop and connect. For some reason I can find no way to meter this. It's not considered "ethernet" nor wifi. When I go into setttings, network it seems to show under the ethernet area as PDAnet but it's downloading ALL updates and wiping out my phone data at a mad rate. I have to pay extra this month because of it. I did try to go into the registry following the steps but always get an error message, something like you don't have permission (I did do all the steps). Why would it do this even if I can see that the ethernet is metered? Any ideas or help? Right now it's the ONLY way I can get on my personal laptop at work. I'm not allowed to use work ethernet, etc.

 

USB tethering SP3 Win10 Android 4.4.2

Hi,

You might be experiencing this issue because your Surface is not getting the correct network configuration such as IP address from your phone. To help us identify the cause of this problem, we would like to know the following information:

• Do you only experience this issue on your Surface? Are you able to tether your Android phone to other devices?
• Do you receive any error messages when connecting to your phone? If yes, what is the exact error message?
• What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?

In the meantime, we suggest that you run the Network troubleshooter after connecting your Surface to your phone. The Network troubleshooter can help diagnose and fix common connection problems. Here's how:

• In the search box on the taskbar, type Identify and repair network problems, and then select
  Identify and repair network problems from the list of results.
• Follow the steps in the troubleshooter and see if that fixes the problem.

Keep us updated on the status of the issue, and we will be glad to assist you further.

 

PdaNet+ not installing Network driver err=5b4

"see if an older Google USB driver works: on the computer go to Start->Programs->PdaNet and select "Install Legacy USB driver" then wait for it to tell you it is completed. Reconnect and see if it helps." PdaNet+ Help You do not need any extra software to allow you to tether to your device, if you wish to use it for Internet. It will be pretty slow.
