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..

    Hi kiwozi,

    I hope you'll find the solution and share it here :)

    Summary to date

    My OS Win 10 Pro x 64;  WiFi Internet - Huawai 4G Dongle. 

    All was working fine under Windows 1703, however after the "Creator Fall Update 1709" internet connection failed.  For the brief time I had 1709 everything else appeared to work OK except the Internet Connection.  Having spent sometime with MS Support Technician on a one to one basis we have been unable to resolve the issue at this stage.  Windows was rolled back to 1703 and is all working fine.  MS have requested I contact them again in one month.  Hopefully they will have a fix by then. 

    If 1703 is not working for you then you have other problems outside this post.

    Not the answer you're looking for . . .  but hope it helps and at least you know you're not alone :)

    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.
