Android Phone Not Recognized by Windows 10 laptop, Possibly Showing as MAP SMS/MMS in Device Manager

I've been trying to connect my Android phone to my Windows 10 laptop so I can more easily remove files and free up space, but it's not working.

I have a MetroPCS LG Aristo 2 running Android 7.1.2, and my laptop is an HP Pavilion Notebook running Windows 10 Fast Ring Insider build 17134, although this happened on 17133 as well. I've connected it to other computers before, and I've connected other devices to this one before, but not since its last repair a month or so ago, when the hard drive was replaced.

I've tried all 3 of its USB ports and 3 different cables with the same result. Nothing seems to happen until I look closer. The phone charges, but my computer doesn't make the sound for a device being connected. It also doesn't show up in the File Explorer or Device Manager under the name of the phone.

I did notice that there was a strange device in the Device Manager called MAP SMS/MMS. The name made me think this might be my phone, so I tried uninstalling it, restarting the laptop and phone and reconnecting them. Each time I do this, that device reappears. I've tried updating its driver to the one for my phone since it doesn't seem to have one, but that doesn't change anything.

I've also tried things with USB debugging both on and off on my phone, and I've tried changing the USB configuration, but again, nothing changes. I've also tried reinstalling the driver for my phone since I've heard that can help it detect my phone. I've read the details for that device, MAP SMS/MMS, which my computer says is working properly, and they're kind of strange. A lot of values seem to be unknown. If it wasn't for the name and the way it reappears when I connect my phone, I would have no idea what it could be.

I've done several Web searches, and this was everything I could find to try. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to fix this?
