[FIX] USB Tethering lags/freezes on windows 8.1 64 bits topic

Everytime i tried to use USB Tethering with my Xperia U on my Windows 8.1 (Bing's single language Edition [Genuine Licence]) have always lags or even freeze the taskbar and some other tool settings on my operating system. After some testing and googling a little bit i found a solution for this Microsoft Issue: Update your NDIS 5 Driver to NDIS 6.x.

Verify if your device is using RNDIS 5 driver (1):

• Open Device Manager from Control Panel and expand “Network Adapters.”


• Plug in your device and enable USB Tethering so that the device is detected as Remote NDIS based device.


• This should now create a Network Adapter named as “ [Your Device Name] Remote NDIS based [internet Sharing/network] Device.”


• Right-click the Adapter and select Properties.


• Select the Driver tab and then click Driver Details.


• You can see the driver files if the files are named usb8023x.sys and rndismpx.sys you are using RNDIS 5 Driver.

Updating your driver:
Just Download and update your NDIS driver from the attachment below. On Driver's Wizard installation must go through selecting the driver from a list.

If someone can make it through Windows 32 bits edition please post your experience :)
