Windows 10: My tablet only charges with usb cable connect to windows 11

So today I was trying to connect my Lenovo Tab 7 Essential android 7 to my Acer Aspire A315-34 with windows 11 home in it and it doesn't recognize my tablet also it doesn't appear any driver under the portable devices section. I tried with my phone and it works fine, so I don't really think it's the laptop nor the cable. I tried with other cables and my tablet still keeps charging even though I activated the usb debugging and the multimedia transfer option. I restarted my tablet and still doesn't work. I can't update my tablet for some reason. I don't have other computers with me so I can't

Tablet not charging on connect

I had purchased a 7' tablet (Ebay) and it worked fine except for some round trips I had to make to the electronics shop just to get it charged. USB charging does not seem to work and
I wonder why, I seem to have used a cable that is god for purpose, it must be the software/electronics that caused a trap in the programming itself that disabled charging on connection as usually happens when I connect a USB device.

 

Connecting windows tablet to pc via usb cable?

It is annoying that you can connect android tablets to a pc using standard usb cables to allow fast file transfer but you cannot connect a windows tablet in same way. Indeed connecting via standard usb cables can fry the usb ports or even cause a fire.

I can transfer by wifi using shareit but that is limited to about 5 MB/s compared with alleged 60 MB/s with usb2 (tablets rarely have usb3).

Has anybody ever used a usb bridging cable on Windows 10?

Most references I see only refer to Windows 7.

Edit: Just remembered I had a usb to ethernet adaptor. I connected that to tablet (via an otg cable), and connected to pc via ethernet cable and created adhoc network as follows by configuring ethernet adaptor on pc as

lan ip : 192.168.0.5
mask : 255.255.255.0
gateway ip: 192.168.0.4 (tablet lan IP)DNS server 1 : 8.8.8.8
DNS server 2 : 8.8.4.4

and on tablet, I swapped lan ip and gateway IP as follows

lan ip : 192.168.0.5
mask : 255.255.255.0
gateway ip : 192.168.0.4 (pc lan IP)DNS server 1 : 8.8.8.8
DNS server 2 : 8.8.4.4

I was able to see pc network from tablet, and copy files to/from tablet from shared directories I set up.

Was not that fast at around 11.5 MB/s but quite a bit faster than wifi shareit (using smb is painfully slow at around 1 MB/S. Shareit is much faster but fluctuates between 3&5GB/s and is a bit of a PITA to use).

I can now transfer a 1GB file in around 90 seconds. Even using my SD card does not go much faster than that. Also, as quicker, it is less heavy on tablet battery.

Still interested to see if anybody uses usb bridging cables though.
