USB tethering creates a new network connection every time it's connected to the system

every time I connect the laptop for internet via USB tethering to my mobile phone, it creates a new network connection, which seems to be very annoying since am using the same mobile phone, the same cable, still it occurs the same way, tried for so many methods present on the internet to solve this issue but still it's the same. so, please help me to resolve the issue.

Note: I'm currrently using windows 11(updated from the original windows 10), but the problem was the same even in windows 10.

Hello Amita Shukla

Thank you for spending a little of your time posting your issue here in the community. Let me go ahead and assist you.

In order to fully understand the issue. I will be asking the following:

• What type of Windows license are you using? (Windows Home, Pro or Enterprise)
  
• If possible can you provide a screen recording for me to be able to replicate the issue here in our end.
  

You may also use the steps below

Note: Make sure to back up all the files before doing so.

• Open Registry Editor (
  
  +R to bring up the Run dialog, then type regedit and press Enter).
  
• Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}.
  
• There are numbered subkeys starting with 0001. Look in each subkey in descending order for the one with the DriverDesc value having your smartphone's RNDIS driver name (same name shown in your Network Connections view as the "Connect using" value).
  
• Once located, create a new DWORD (32-bit) Value.
  
• Enter the name as *NdisDeviceType (remember to include the asterisk sign * in front).
  
• Edit the newly created DWORD value and enter the value data as 1 (Base choice doesn't matter). Click OK.
  
• Once done, disable and re-enable usb tethering
  

You will no longer get a prompt asking for network location whenever you connect your smartphone, but you will still get the prompt when connecting to other devices.
