Windows 10: Windows 10 stopped recognizing my iPhone7

About 2 months ago, my Windows 10 desktop stopped recognizing my iPhone7. iTunes still sees it on all my devices (laptop, work PC & home PC). But, the only machine currently that sees my phone aside from iTunes, is my work PC. I assume that will end at some point when updates install. I have spent two months following all the instructions I can find, and NOTHING is working. I'm going nuts. #1 - I'd like to get the photos off the phone and free up some space. Is there anyone out there that has recently had this problem?

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Transferring Photos from iPhone7 with IOS 11 to PC with Windows 10

• I took 3 photos with my phone and tried to send them to my PC.
  
  I downloaded the photos from iCloud to my PC using a USB cable, but then I could not find the pics after searching every link and folder.
  
  So I went to the multicolored photos app on my iphone, checked the photos and mailed them to myself with the intent of copying them to the desktop or storing them in my pics or download folder.
  
  The files are jpegs but when I saved them to my desktop, so I could attach them to an email message, it did not work.
  
  The pics were stored in html, only option; and I have a big Google icon as a shortcut.
  
  So........I have three pics in an email message but I can't drag them anywhere else.
  
  How can I convert them or take a pic to be stored in the same manner if I saw a pic online and right clicked to save?
  
  I want to move them from the iPhone to an email message.
  
  I want to use them as an attachment ( jpeg? ) but ideally I would like to post the pic in my email so it occupies a larger area that does not need expanding like a jpeg photo.
  
  Any suggestions?
  
  Thanks,
