Android USB tether issue

Hello.

(I'm not sure if this is the correct topic, feel free to move)

I have an issue where my phone hangs Task manager and Network properties when on 'USB Tether'  on Windows 10.

if the phone connected to a PC and no tether via USB it works fine, but when I tether via USB after a minute or two it hangs 'Task manager' and 'Network properties' the rest is working ok.

I tried several USB ports and several USB cables, and different PC and the issue still persists.

Sometimes my PC just auto restarts. without any warnings.

Tethering with 'WiFi hotspot' works fine, I can use it but it's much slower than 'USB Tether'

Phone is : Xiaomi mi 10T 5G

any help is appreciated.

    Hi,

    I agree with you. Extremely disappointing.

    Xiaomi should give immediate support to the problem and not ask the user to wait for an upcoming update.

    I also have Xiaomi and when it comes to support, they are not good.

    I hope you can resolve this as soon as possible.

    Big hug and take care

    Pedro A

    Thank you very much for trying to help Pedro,

    I contacted Xiaomi the day I created this thread, and I just received an answer from them:

    Please use the original phone data cable to connect to the computer. If the problem persists, I would request you to submit your demand through Feedback & Suggestion (Settings >> Feedback & Suggestion), and wait for the future update. Also, we will record the case and forward it to our concerned authorities so that none of our customers faces any issues similar to yours.

    That's just a disappointing answer.

    I understand that it is frustrating and I am sorry that these procedures did not work.

    I'm going to open your question back up so that other Experts can try to help.

    Hi,

    I, m Pedro A, Independent Advisor and will help you

    Check if the usb debug mode is active on your android.

    Access your android settings> about this phone> MIUI version> tap several times until the message "you are a developer" appears.

    Then in additional settings, look for "developer options"> access and look for Debug Mode.

    activate the option, connect the phone with the usb cable to your computer and check if it works.
