Windows 10: Problems with the Doro PhoneEasy 612

Now that I have a lot of time on my hands I'm experimenting.
I have a Doro PhoneEasy 612 flip phone that used to belong to my parents.
I'm trying to download pictures I take with it.

When I connect it via USB to my Windows 7 laptop it sees the phone as a drive and I can transfer the pictures from the phone to the laptop.

But...

When I attach it to my main PC which is a clean Windows 10 install from January on a new PC it keeps cycling.
It sees the phone as a drive, Autoplay kicks in and asks me to Select what I want to to do with it (I choose Open Folder to View Files).
The drive comes up in File Explorer and I see the "Photos" folder.
Then after a few seconds the window closes and the process starts all over again.
Actually I can't tell if it's the Windows 10 PC or the phone itself that's cycling.
It's almost as if the connection is being broken and then reconnected.

The PC likes my Alcatel Go Flip Phone using that same USB connector.

The drivers are different in Win7 and Win10.
Win 7 is Windows driver 6.7.7600.16385.
Win10 driver is Windows driver 10.0.18362.1.
Both are from the same date (06/21/06).

I would appreciate any help.
Thanks.

Connecting Doro Phoneasy 612 to Windows 10 PC

I have connected my Doro Phoneasy 612 to my Acer Aspire X1000 running Windows 10, but it is not recognised. I get a message that it does not have a 'network profile' for it. Help please.

 

Connecting Doro Phoneasy 612 to Windows 10 PC

None of the solutions suggested worked. But when I changed the USB cable connecting the DORO phone to my ACER PC, to the cable provided with the phone it worked! I had the same problem with my HUDL, and the solution was the same, use the cable provided
by DORO.

What is special about this cable?

And why does the DORO manual not make it clear that only the DRO cable should be used?
