Windows 10: Mobile device not showing up on Windows 10 when connected through USB

I am using Windows 10 Home on my laptop. I am trying to connect my Android mobile to the laptop through USB. I can hear the sound, enable file transfer on mobile device, getting a pop-up that the device is ready to use. But the device is not showing up on Windows explorer.To troubleshoot I tried to update the driver by clicking on my device name under Other Devices but it failed again with following error - "Windows found drivers for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install them. MTP USB DeviceThe system cannot find the file specified"Tried with other basic troubleshoo
