USB (MTP) not working, driver not installing

I've been trying to connect my Lenovo K3 Note (Android 5.0.2) via USB (MTP). The drivers fail to install with windows update. The error shows as "Microsoft - Other hardware - MTP Device - Error 0x800f0217."

Things I've done to try and fix the issue (not in order):

• Installed Windows Media Feature Pack (KB3010081) and (KB3099229). As suggested on this Superuser.com thread.
• Updated USB drivers
• Enabled USB debugging mode on the device
• Used the troubleshooter. Returned "Unknown device doesn't have a driver"
• Reset the PC
• Plugged into different USB ports

I've hit a brick wall. My phone has worked fine over USB before. Any help is greatly appreciated!

 

MTP driver installation

A service installation section in this inf is invalid regarding mtp driver on my windows 10 pc. I am facing this problem for my micromax phone

 

Android device MTP connection quit followed by INF file error on reinstall

FINAL Solution - with the 1607 (Anniversary Edition of Windows 10) installed (note, this might NOT be necessary, but the 'Roll Back Driver' command could be useful!!) :

• Delete the old device in Device Manager
• Re-Plug the device, and choose "Let me Select an installed driver" (You might have to use "Update Driver" to get here).
• Choose USB MTP Device instead of the default MTP Device

After doing that, my Android phone was fully working as an MTP device again!
