Windows 10: Can't load photos from LG phone to Windows 10 with usb

Hi all, hope this is the right place to post this question.
I have a basic phone a LG S301 I used to plug the phone into the USB port and it came up as an external drive so I could browse and select photos from the phone.
Since 10 upgrade I can no longer do it. I can do it with bluetooth but it's a bit of a faff, the USB was a lot simpler.
Any suggestions as to how to get the phone to show alongside C and D drives please?
Thank you*Smile

how to import photos in windows 10 from my LG phone

Can't get windows 10 to recognize my LG phone to download photos using USB cable. Not on This PC. How to download, please?

 

Unable to connect LG G6 to Windows 10 laptop

When I plug in my LG G6 phone to any computer, I get the following message: "The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it" The USB tethering switch in 'settings' is shadowed and not available. The phone
works fine. I have been able to get some photos transferred from phone to computer using LG Bridge, but it desn't seem to find them all. There are other file transfer tasks I need to undertake as well. What am I doing wrong??

Moved from: Windows / Windows 10 / Files, folders, & storage

 

I have a similar problem but not exactly, hoping someone can help. I have an LG 441G flip phone with pre-paid Tracfone service. I have no internet on the phone or Bluetooth, it is just a simple emergency phone for short phone calls.

I have a few pictures of my dog on the cell phone that I would like to transfer to my Windows 10 desktop computer. I've bought a USB cable thinking this would be simple, but it's not. I've never uploaded photos from a phone to a computer before.

After searching around, I clicked on my computer start, then went to photos. Then I connected the phone and clicked import, with no luck.

Was hoping I wouldn't have to download any other software programs to my computer for a few pictures. Any advice on how to simply get pictures from a cell to the computer? Thanks.

 

try this thread Can't transfer photos from LG3 phone with USB to my Laptop Windows 10

 

Thanks Samuria, I think I already saw that thread though. My phone is very simple flip phone and I don't see any of the settings mentioned on it.
