#PC<->Android file transfer is impossible! Please help

I've travelled. From home to college. It involved PC reassembly. I swapped windows installations. But am now unable to get my Android storage to show up in the file explorer. The phone drivers automatically install with a yellow triangle icon in device manager (code 20). USB Tethering works though, pen drives too work.

You're likely missing drivers

#

Do a search for whatever phone manufacturer drivers

zenith cave
#

Btw I did install the drivers but nothing

toxic iris
#

Well it looks like you do since your phone isn't properly communicating. Windows update doesn't handle 100% of drivers

zenith cave
#

Any hardware issues? Cuz I did brush my motherboard lately

#

Twas dusty

toxic iris
#

Maybe, but doubtful

zenith cave
#

Yeah and I checked with ampere app, it peaks at 200ma

#

This is what I'm doin rn. Gettin back to it where it worked

toxic iris
#

Yea.. you can't expect things to work with Win7

#

Can't help you with that

zenith cave
#

It did before

#

Are you even following?

#

I'm not on w7 right now

toxic iris
#

You didn't say what version initially, so how can I follow?

zenith cave
#

"gettin back..."

grave matrix
#

So why are you getting back to another windows? just for the phone to work? why not try drivers? 🤔

zenith cave
#

Why is replying have to be such a mindless hurry?

grave matrix
#

since drivers make the devices work.

zenith cave
#

Gettin back to it to further verify If there's a hardware damage

grave matrix
#

is the phone damaged?

zenith cave
grave matrix
#

as in barely gets detected?

zenith cave
#

It says "installing drivers" in the toast notification when I plug in my poco. Then says it's ready

#

But then shows up with a yellow triangle in device manager

#

USB Tethering works

Truly speaking, w10+ is pure harrassment for me anyway

grave matrix
#

No clue, am at windows 11, windows 10 was better as windows 8 .

zenith cave

Harass*

grave matrix

zenith cave
grave matrix
#

but they had to chance , didnt they?

#

as in , it worked... everything was in the right spot

zenith cave
#

Yeah but u said no sense

grave matrix
#

windows 10 added weird menus* just because they can.

#

windows 11 just added more weird stuff.

zenith cave
#

Metro UI is shit. Why did they have to make it so bland and boring

#

Wait

#

Can you use ltsc 2019 ?

zenith cave
#

I wonder how they are able to distribute free ISOs

grave matrix
#

its like saying here, free Windows ! but if we check you and you are having unlicensed windows as a company , we sue your ass / charge you hefty fines.

#

so companies cover windows cost.

#

in simple layment terms explained.

zenith cave
#

Well, they can't seem to agree on a simple transfer protocol, while most android phones work fine. You figure out whose fault that is.
