Hello Brian,

Thank you for writing to us with the detailed information.

Now if the phone is the only device not detected via USB connection. I suggest you to follow the simple steps and check if the following suggestions help.

• Check if the phone battery charges itself when connected (irrespective of detected or not).
• Check the "USB debugging" settings in your phone if the option for Mass Storage is available.
• Check if the phone is detected in Windows via Device Manager settings.
• Check with the manufacturer's website if any new drivers for the phone is available in Windows.
• Check if the USB drivers for your computer is up to date.
  
  Ref: install and update the latest drivers

• Check with a different USB port as well as try connecting with a new USB cable to the computer. Also, check with another computer to identify whether the issue is with the phone settings.

Kindly keep us posted with the observations you have found out for us to be able to assist you further.
