That's because your iPhone is in tethering mode, and offers your PC a way to resend network traffic as a Personal Hotspot.

Go into the iPhone -> Settings -> Personal Hotspot -> Allow Others to Join -> OFF

If you need to use the Hotspot feature, turn it back on when you're not plugged into the PC.

Honestly Timmy, you're not very good at explaining what the problem is.

Do you have wired Internet for the Dell, but it stops working when you plug the iPhone in; or your Dell is using the iPhone as a Hotspot to reach the Internet?

*IF your wifi on your desktop is connected via a usb dongle, it sounds like a power issue with the USBs. can you plug it in on another port or on the other side of your tower? (if the wifi usb is in the back, plug your phone cable into a usb on the front/top or vice-versa)

check your wifi adapter in Device Manager and see if it has this setting:
