Windows 10: All of a sudden android phone does not connect thru usb cable

i have several windows 11 PC's so this is not a cable issue . On one PC i can plug phone and it works .on another windows 11 laptop with same cable windows 11 does not even show the phone !for some DELIBERATE reason this software on one PC is ignoring the phone . It makes connection noise but the drives never show .Once again trying to do something in a hurry and this software gets in the way . When copying files it wont because it says i dont have permission on my own PC .When I plug in the phone you can hear it see it but for some absolutely stupid reason it doesnt show the phone

samsung phone a20e will not connect to usb c

Those are essentially the same steps I showed in Post #11 for my Samsung phone. It is important after the phone is connected to the PC with a USB cable to swipe from the top of the phone screen to show the notifications. Take screenshot on your Samsung Galaxy A20e Android 9.0 Samsung Galaxy A20e - Take screenshot | Vodafone UK Note these are the same steps I used to take a screenshot on my Samsung phone. If you can't connect the phone to your PC with a USB cable then the easiest way to get the screenshots from your phone to your PC is to email them to yourself. I just opened my Gmail account on my phone, created a new email, attached the screenshots to it, and emailed them. When I opened the email on my PC I selected to to download the attachment. Note the attachment was a single zip file with the screenshots inside.

Download via USB Cable, Android to Windows 10

Here is the key to USB connection with Android... first you must change the Android default setting when connecting a USB cable.

After connecting to the USB cable and computer, swipe on phone to get settings/notifications...

find the notification for USB (see USB symbol to the left of the notification)...

tap on this notification...

you will see the selectable options:

-Charging

-File transfer

-Photo transfer

-Software installation

-MIDI

Note: Default selection is "Charging"

Select either "File Transfer" ... or ... "Photo Transfer"

and then you will be able to see your folders listed in your Windows Explorer file folders (underneath the name/model of your Android device)

copy, delete or whatever you need to do with normal Windows commands/functions...

(be careful and not disturb the original file structure listed on your Android device - copy/delete your files by selecting them individually or with "select all" command WITHIN any particular file folder),

Good luck...

my next effort will be to try to figure out how to DOWNLOAD/DELETE files FROM the VERIZON CLOUD from Android device (or from/with the PC itself...

ANYONE KNOW HOW TO DO THIS?

I don't see command/selection options for this within the VERIZON CLOUD...
