Windows 10: Laptop no longer identifies smartphone through USB

My laptop no longer recognizes my smartphone whenever I connect it with a USB. Phone model is Samsung Galaxy AO5 btw. I've tried multiple cables and none of them work, and every time I connect my phone to my laptop it says "The device was either interrupted or removed" or something along the lines of that. It was working up to date completely fine yesterday, im just wondering why now???? Any help is appreciated im a photographer and i need to get photos transferred pls

Laptop no longer booting from HDD or recovery USB

According to this link: Booting to the Boot Menu and BIOS
Your laptop use F2 to access BIOS and F12 to access Boot Menu.

It will take a while to boot. Sometimes several minutes, Did you wait long enough ?

HBCD only works with MBR disk type and will not recognize GPT disk.

If still cannot boot from Recovery disk. Use your friend's computer and download Macrium Rescue disk from my G-Drive: MacRescue.iso - Google Drive
The iso is: MacRescue.iso, about 258MB.
NOTE: Use F2 to access BIOS: enable Boot Menu, disable Secure Boot, disable CSM.

1. Connect the USB to the PC. Use Disk Management (Win+R->Disk Management) to find out the disk # of the USB
2. Open Admin Command Prompt (Win+R->Command Prompt (Admin) and type:
   diskpart
   select disk # =====> where # is the disk number from step 1
   clean
   convert MBR
   create partition primary
   format fs=fat32 quick
   assign letter=R
   active
   exit
   bootsect /nt60 R: ====> This will updates the master boot code for the USB
   exit
3. Double click MacRescue.iso. This will mount the iso as a virtual DVD drive with a letter assigned, seen in This PC
4. copy the content of the virtual DVD to R: (Your USB)
5. Reboot your PC and keep tapping on F12 to access boot menu then select the usb with UEFI prefix to boot into GPT mode
6. Once booted. From the Macrium screen, click on Fix Windows Boot problems and follow the screen to complete
   
   
   
7. Reboot your PC.

NOTE: If still does not boot then the problem is in the C drive, System file(s) corrupted. You would need to boot from the Windows Installation disk to perform custom upgrade. Use step 2 above to create a bootable Windows Installation. Don't use Rufus.
