Windows 10: Cant upload photos from iPhone onto laptop using windows 11.

I have recently bought a new laptop that has windows 11 on it. I was very confitable with windows 10 and knew my way around. But when I come to import photos from my Iphone on to windows 11 I am unable to select the photos I want as they are no longer dated as they used to be and when I try to upload them all as I cant pick 2000+ the upload fails. Can you help?

Win10 Laptop Can't Connect to New iPhone 11

Just upgraded from iPhone 6s. USB connection sees all photos on the 6. But on the 11, usb connection shows barely 1 dozen out of thousands of photos. Laptop does not have iTunes installed. I connected both once by Bluetooth which went as expected but I didn't know what to do in Windows so I shut down overnight. Now in Bluetooth, iPhone 11 says it sees laptop and it's connected, but Win 10 laptop cannot see iphone device at all, but does see neighbors' devices, does not show iPhone 11 as either a drive or as a network device. Is there some Win10 registry sabotage here? Did I somehow tell Win10 never to see or connect to this iphone? Any ideas about how to get full connectivity? I've cold booted both devices repeatedly. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
