Windows 10: How do I get my Samsung phone to connect to my pc?

Hello:I have a Win10 pc, and I just got a new Samsung A25 phone.I plugged in my USB cable to move some photos off my phone onto my pc, but it isn't connecting. Nothing shows a connection on my computer, and I can't find anything on the phone that has to do with connecting to a computer.The only thing I find is that "Link" app, which does not work. It keeps asking me for some kind of "HELLO" password. I've never had this show up before. And my pc states that this "HELLO" feature is unavailable.So, how do I link my Samsung phone to my pc?Thanks

:)

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.

I found out about the problem when I ran games on the phone using Phone Link. Assuming that the PC is connected to the phone with Phone link On the phone if you look at the Bluetooth settings you will see that:

• Calls = Enabled
• Audio = Not available

However, on the PC if you run Bluetooth Audio Receiver and open a connection to the phone then On the phone if you look at the Bluetooth settings you will see that:

• Calls = Enabled
• Audio = Enabled

It is supposed to. I suggest you investigate on your phone. Perhaps some[charging-only] default choice was set ages ago and that [charging-only] default suppresses the popup.

Many phones default to charging-only connections [that would explain your symptoms] until the popup is responded to [the choices are likely to be charging-only connection, data / file transfer connection, USB tethering]. See if you can get more specific advice in the Samsung user manual, Samsung support & their user forums.
