  1. Windows 10 adds a new network every time I tether my phone


    I've been needing to use my phone to use the internet on my PC for the past couple days. I've been tethering it via USB to use it, But every time I do so, Windows adds a new network. After I unplug my phone I can't see the other network in the list. I'm on 14 right now. Will it get to a point where this causes issues?

    :)

  2. USB Tethering creating new names each time.

    Hi,

    I have the same problem. And it seems to be a universal one. Stack Exchange has a solution:

    Prevent Windows From Creating New Network Names when Tethering with Android

    The only downside is that the network icon in the notification area doesn't work properly. Is there a way to stop adding new names AND make the network icon work?

    Regarding your questions:

    • Windows 10 is updated
    • drivers are updated
    • This issue always occured. (started using usb tethering one week ago)

    Regards

    I think I'll put a list of people's favourite apps in the OP, starting with my own until I get some suggestions, but you can take a look at the Windows Phone app store at the top apps to see what's popular http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store

    You are both now added, welcome! *Toast :toast:

    Windows 10 adds a new network every time I tether my phone

    Does tethering usb to PC shorten phone life?

    I spent 5 years living in an area where my only option was tethering a phone and using 3g and later 4g lte. I never had a phone fail from streaming video, torrenting or any of the other things you listed. We are talking 400+ GB a month for years. I replaced my phone when the 2 year contract ended each time.
