The installation seems to work fine at first, but after rebooting your Windows 10 OS and plugging the 3G USB dongle back in, the installation restarts. However, this time the computer won’t recognize the device. So check out the tutorial below for detailed explanations on how to get the 3G USB dongle work on Windows 10.

How can I fix 3G USB dongle issues on Windows 10?

1. Temporarily disable your antivirus/firewall

Your antivirus and firewall may somehow identify the USB dongle or its drivers as a threat and block installation. So first, try turning off your antivirus and firewall during the installation process. You can then enable antivirus protection as soon as you’ve installed the 3G UBS Dongle.

2. Reinstall the USB Dongle driver

If the method above did not update your PC’s drivers successfully, we recommend using an automatic driver repair. DriverFix takes updates to the next level of importance, which is essential for the health and performance of your PC. A missing driver may disrupt communication between the device and the OS. For prevention, we advise you to have software that will maintain your drivers up to date, ensuring that you are protected against typical computer issues and device malfunctions.

3. Keep your 3G USB dongle permanently connected

Keep the 3G Dongle USB always plugged in your Windows 10 system when you reboot the device: Apparently, if you install the driver with the 3G USB dongle plugged in and you keep it there, you should not have any issues if you reboot the operating system. If you unplug the USB dongle from the device and reboot the operating system, you will be asked again to install it and you might encounter further errors. SPONSORED

4. Run Windows Update

Make sure that you’re running the latest OS version on your computer. It is worth mentioning that Windows Update automatically installs the latest drivers on your machine, so you can also use this solution to update your 3G USB dongle drivers. What you have to do is to manually hit the Check for updates button in the Update & Security section of your system settings. If you can’t launch the Setting app, take a look at this article to solve the issue.
