    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.

    Lumia 620 doesn`t connect to computer via usb cable

    Hi yall and thanks for the replies!



    Unfortunately, the were of no help.



    The phone isn`t listed in device manager, the list of devices doesn`t change if I have my phone connected to my computer(s). There are no mystery devices, no yellow triangle -markings or anything even remotely pointing to the direction the phone being connected.

    It could be that my phone has a broken usb port, but it makes me wonder that it still charges the battery when connected to a computer.



    This is not a big problem for me, that I must admit, but still, it kinda bugs me that the phone doesn`t work the way it`s supposed to work,



    Anyways, if somebody comes up with something that might help, I am most grateful.



    Have a great weekend yall!



    -



    edit: Also, I have my laptop almost always connected to charger. Tried without charger just for the heck of it, didn`t help.

  4. win 11 doesn't allow me to see contents of SD card connected by usb cable on android tablet

    SD Card issues


    OK - I just got this Asus Transformer Book with Windows 10 on it. I have a SD card that is formatted to ExFAT, and I keep getting the "read only" error. I know to go to the security settings, the problem is I don't have that tab on the card. I have it on the main drive, just not for the SD. I can't got to NTFS, because this SD is going into an Android tablet... Suggestions? And sorry in advance if this has been answered - my Google Fu is weak today...
