cannot transfere files between android and WIN10

Hi Mostafa,

Can you walk me through the steps on how are you trying to copy the files to your Windows 10 device. Based on your post, your android phone is showing on device manager. Can you verify if your android device is shown in File Explorer (On your keyboard, press
Windows + E. Then, check if the device is shown).

If the android device is shown in File Explorer, you can manually copy the files to your Windows 10 device by following these steps:

1. On your keyboard, press Windows + E.
2. Double click the file name of your android phone.
3. Locate the folder where the files you want to transfer is stored.
4. Highlight all the files you want to transfer.
5. You can either press Ctrl + C (this will just copy the files and retain the copy on your phone), or press
   Ctrl + X (this will move the files from the phone to the Windows 10 device, this will delete the copy from he phone).
6. Navigate through your Windows 10 device on where you want to store the files.
7. Once your on the desired location, press Ctrl + V (this will paste the copied files to this location).

Please respond to this thread to let me know how the issue progresses. Similarly, if you have more questions, please inform me by replying to this post.

 

Finding the .PNG files with different pixels in file explorer

hello,

when you make a .png file filled with white pixels and transparent pixels, save it in a folder and look at the folder in the File Explorer, you get your .png file with black pixels instead of transparent pixels, and that's good.

Now if you replace all white pixels with black pixels, file explorer will set the background (so, transparency pixels) to white for a better view.

But since I added both white .png files and black .png files, the background is always set to black and it became impossible to see black pictures.. event after removing all white files, the background won't set to white.

I since had some problems with my hard drive and had to buy one and reinstall W10 (the .png files are on OneDrive) but File explorer still shows .png files with a black background after reinstallation so maybe the prob is persistant? please help me setting
the background to white of anything else that can let me see the pictures without having to open them.
