Windows 10: My phone can't be recognized in my laptop

My phone is currently plugged in to my laptop, but unfortunately it is not recognized. I tried it with other phone, doesn't work either. I tried using a different cable, also doesn't work. If I use a mouse or a USB Flashdisk it works fine. But why is my laptop doesn't recognize any phone that plugged in? I can't even see my device listed on Portable Devices in Device Management. Any help will be really appreciated.

Phone not getting recognized in laptop

I bought this laptop in July, 2016 with pre-installed windows 10. This problem has been there since then. Laptop doesn't recognize ANY android device. I have tried many of my friends phones, none of which gets recognized. Even though the phone is in MTP
mode, all it does is get charged.

I have tried these:

• Restarting the Laptop.
• Trying with different cables and ports..
• Trying different phones.
• Troubleshooting hardware and devices without my phone connected. (It could not identify the problem)
• Troubleshooting with my phone connected :
  • It gave a fix: The driver for unknown device is not installed. Install the latest driver. I clicked apply this fix.
  • The result - Unknown device doesn't have a driver - with a red cross.
• Then i went to device manager and there was a Unknown device under Other devices.
  
• I right clicked it and selected update latest drivers and selected the automatic search option.
  
• After it completed it simply said :
  • Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device.
  • Windows found the driver but encountered error installing it.
  • Below that was written "MTP device". A service installation section in this INF is invalid.

Now i don't know what else to do. Can someone help me please. If i have to manually install a driver, where can i find it for my laptop.

 

Supported phones for Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview Mobile

Your list confirms my phone is eligible, Lumia 521. The windows Insider App fails after ~ 15 seconds, restores data and gives me error 80073cf9. I trouble shot this and went thru all the steps mentioned on several websites including MS without any luck. Short of a hard reset, this is where I am now. Suggestions appreciated.

 

Laptop suddenly stopped recognizing the external monitor

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

To assist you better, I would like to ask if the laptop is unable to recognize only the external monitor or other external devices also.

I suggest you to run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter by following the steps below:

• Click on the Start button, and type “Troubleshooting” on the search bar.
• Click on “Hardware and Devices”.
• A pop-up will appear, click on the “Next” button and your hardware troubleshooting will start.
  

Hope the information is helpful. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.
