Hi.

When I upgraded to 1709 (16299.19) I couldn't get my Huawei E3372 Modem to connect!

Before the upgrade I had no problem and with no drivers it could connect to the internet.

I have done everything that I think of, Unfortunately NO LUCK!

What is the solution?

Thanks In Advance!

2 Solution from Huawei : 

  1. Downgrade version of microsoft to the build 1703. You do a search how to downgrade your windows.
  2. Put a static IP on the network adapter of the stick. See image below.

Update from Microsoft will fix the problem end of November..

    Try restoring defaults and/or rebooting the dongle on another computer with Windows 7/8 or Windows 10 non-1709.

    Check that the information that corresponds from the Command Prompt (cmd) > ipconfig and your mobile broadband dashboard matches your entries. It may also help to make some investigations in 'Control Panel > Network and Sharing Centre > Change Adapter Settings > Your connection > Properties > Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) > Properties' and trying once again (make sure your IP addresses and DNS server address (I only entered in the Preferred DNS server address) are indeed correct).

    So...

    IP address = IPv4 address (in cmd)

    Subnet mask = 255.255.255.0 (automatically entered)

    Default Gateway = Default Gateway address (in cmd)

    Preferred DNS server = as Default Gateway address (in cmd)

    Alternative DNS server = leave blank

    Maybe also try to "Validate settings upon exit". I can't remember if I did this or not.

    I can confirm that I have the same problem with a Huawei E5573.

    This unit is both with Wifi connection and MicroUSB cable connection.

    Since the Fall Creators update, Windows 10 no longer recognizes the unit and I cannot connect to the internet using a cable.

    Hope this gets resolved soon.
