"How to fix 'Custom pagination 404 error' in PHP - wordpress

Question

I'm facing problem in my custom post pagination. The custom pagination is work fine on single page with same code but it is not working on another page.
I have updated the permalink many times but nothing happen. I also update .htaccess file.
My source code listed here...
<div id="home" class="tab-pane fade in active">
<p class="main_dv"><?php
//$count=1;
$paged = (get_query_var('page')) ? get_query_var('page') : 1;
$data= new WP_Query(array(
'post_type'=>'software',// your post type name
'category_name' => 'general_software', // your category name
'posts_per_page' => 5, // post per page
'paged' => $paged,));
if($data->have_posts()) :
while($data->have_posts()) : $data->the_post();?>
<div class="testcustompost1">
<div class="pst_div">
<div class="thumb">
<?php the_post_thumbnail();?>
</div>
<div class="title_des">
<div class="title">
<?php the_title();?>
</div>
<div class="description">
<?php the_content();?>
</div>
<div class="downlod_btn">
<button class="btn"> Download </button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<?php //$count++;
endwhile;
echo '<div class="paginat_design">';
$total_pages = $data->max_num_pages;
if ($total_pages > 1){
$current_page = max(1, get_query_var('paged'));
echo paginate_links(array(
'base' => get_pagenum_link(1) . '%_%',
'format' => '/page/%#%',
'current' => $current_page,
'total' => $total_pages,
'prev_text' => __('« prev'),
'next_text' => __('next »'),
));
}
echo '</div>'?>
<?php else :?>
<?php _e('404 Error: Not Found', ''); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php wp_reset_postdata();?>
</p>
</div>
404 Not found error

You should try this:
<?php
/**
* Looping through the content
*/
$page = ( get_query_var( 'page' ) ) ? get_query_var( 'page' ) : 1;
$data = new WP_Query (array(
'post_type'=>'software',
'category_name' => 'general_software',
'posts_per_page' => 5,
'page' => $page
)); ?>
<?php while ($data -> have_posts()) : $data -> the_post(); ?>
<!-- Your html code here -->
<?php endwhile; ?><?php wp_reset_query(); ?><?php wp_reset_postdata();
?>
Here is the pagination part:
<?php
echo paginate_links( array(
'base' => str_replace( 999999999, '%#%', esc_url( get_pagenum_link( 999999999 ) ) ),
'total' => $data->max_num_pages,
'current' => max( 1, get_query_var( 'page' ) ),
'format' => '?page=%#%',
'show_all' => false,
'type' => 'plain',
'end_size' => 2,
'mid_size' => 1,
'prev_next' => true,
'prev_text' => sprintf( '<i></i> %1$s', __( 'Previous Page', 'text-domain' ) ),
'next_text' => sprintf( '%1$s <i></i>', __( 'Next Page', 'text-domain' ) ),
'add_args' => false,
'add_fragment' => '',
) );
?>
Let me know if it is this help you. If not, try to change the value from paged to page.
