The dump1090 by default connects to device with index 0. In ALL versions of Windows and RPi, DVB-T dongle is allotted device index 0 by default, and dump1090 connect to it without any problem.
Win10 creates a garbage USB with device index 0, and real DVB-T gets device index 1. By default, dump1090 tries to connect to device with index 0, which is a garbage, and fails to connect to it. Adding Parameter --device index 1 in "procargs" changes default behavior of dump1090 and it now connects to device index 1 which is real DVB-T.
An alternative to editing file fr24feed.ini is to add this argument in settings page using a browser.
(1) Type localhost:8754/settings.html in browser's address bar and press Enter key. The settings page will open.
(2) In settings page in field "Process arguments", add argument --net --device index 1
(3) Click "Save" and then "Restart" buttons. Both buttons are at bottom-right corner of settings page.

.
Please note that on settings page in browser, clicking "Save" button saves the new settings in file fr24feed.ini.
If you now open this file in Notepad, you will see the line procargs ="--net --device index 1" added there.
