Can't Set USB Mobile Broadband Adapter As Metered

Sorry, that's no help because there is no place to set the connection as a metered connection.

To quote from the Microsoft article on Metered Internet connections: FAQ :

Note

• 
  Ethernet network connections can't be set to metered.
  

Therefore, because the USB Mobile Broadband adapters are installed as Ethernet adapters, it is not possible to set them as metered connections.

This true even with a USB Mobile Broadband adapter that uses the generic Microsoft "Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device" driver.

 

"Generic Mobile Broadband Adapter #7" & "Viscosity Virtual Adapter V9.1" won't update

Hello!
I've been having a lot of issues with the Asus connectivity (First Bluetooth, now Generic Mobile Broadband Adapter #7 and Viscosity Virtual Adapter V9.1)

First my Bluetooth would randomly disable itself, this prompting the 'unknown usb device descriptor request failed' to appear.
Now I noticed in the Device Manager that the Generic Mobile Broadband Adapter #7 & Viscosity Virtual Adapter V9.1 & V9.1#2 are giving error codes.

Generic Mobile Broadband Adapter #7: This device cannot start. (Code 10)

Viscosity Virtual Adapter V9.1: Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)

Viscosity Virtual Adapter V9.1 #2: Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)

When I select the drivers to update, it says they're up to date.
When I use the Intel Driver & Support Assistant, it says everything is up to date.

Anybody have solutions?
