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..

    OK sorry to hear that. This isn't a simple problem. I looked at these links and tried a few things before I found my current solution so it may help just to get an idea of the problem(s). 

    I am hoping that Microsoft release an update asap and let us know as this temporary fix isn't satisfactory on a permanent basis.

    I think that there is no need to rush and to mark any reply on this thread as a valid answer.

        POULIN_Pierre-Alexandre announced long ago that the "Microsoft" Corporation and the "Huawei" Corporation are working together on a fix - and not on a workaround - that will be deployed on Tuesday, 28-November-2017.

        Until then, I see any workaround as unsatisfactory.

        I have a Software Installation of the "Microsoft" "Windows" 10 "Professional" Version 1703.15063.674 Operating System somewhere that has recently been upgraded to the Version 1703.15063.764 and that it is still working somehow. I hope that it will also work when it will be upgraded to the Versions 1709.*.*.

    The fix will be deploy by Microsoft November 28th. Huawei confirm to us.

    I have just updated my computer and the problem not yet fixed. Bit disappointing with Microsoft breaking the system and not able to apply a fix within the timeframe that I understand they gave.

    I am using the workaround posted by Kalski  replied on  October 26, 2017 and it is working but need to apply that workaround on every computer on which the dongle is used.
