Windows 10: Windows 10 doesnt recognise samsung tablet

Since updating to Windows 10 it cannot see my samsung tablet or another android tablet. This worked fine before the upgrade. This is very frustrating as while trying to search for a solution I have noticed a lot of people are having the same issue.
