I have BSNL data card which worked fine in windows 10 but after the Fall creators update by Microsoft, my BSNL usb modem stopped working. It was at first very difficult to look for a solution cause my data card was not working in my laptop.
I first go to my guts feeling about a solution (not worked!!!) and ended up BINGing (toped up my mobile data and shared it via hotspot). I saw many posts in Microsoft forum reporting the same problem for different software and tried the solutions suggested by experts such as update drivers, troubleshoot compatibility, disable Antivirus and firewall while installing and nirsoft packages etc. Nothing Worked for my problem.
I found an option to create DUMP file of a process(application) provided by Windows in task manager. I created a Dump file for my process and opened it in Notepad. Found some error (TLOSS error..) texts and updated/repaired all my redistributable C++ in my laptop. It didn't work.
Finally I deep searched on BSNL website for any updates or FAQs regarding same problem faced by any others and if any solution was provided. To my surprise there is nothing. But I found a hint about the USB modem manufacturer and its model.
Binged again the manufacturer website and new driver update for the model. It turns out they released one new software for WINDOWS 8 and there was a standalone driver installer for windows 8. I tried my device software and installed the driver only software and hoped that it'll work. But it didn't. I uninstalled the software and ran my device setup installer in Windows XP, Vista and 7 compatibility modes, which gave me a new error. I remember this new error(not enough space to install) was the same I read in dump files I mentioned above.
Uninstalled my device software.
With my every instinct saying the opposite except one, I installed the new software provided by the device manufacturer. In the past I thought this will not work, because the software in my USB modem was custom made by BSNL with their own settings and Logo. But It WORKED. The software I downloaded from the manufacturer website recognised the device and applied the settings automatically. That was my TWO WEEK Solution ( almost lost my sleep).
So, here are the links:
