Windows 10: windows 10 will not recognise samsung galaxy tab A 10.1 in file explorer

Windows 10 will not recognise Samsung galaxy tablet A 10.1 in file explorer but does see it connected

using USB port. As this is my first tablet any help would be appreciated. I was able to connect to my

old laptop which is also running Windows 10. I assume my desktop has something missing

:)

 

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

Galaxy Tab 2 USB Connection not recognised


I am using Win 10 64bit Pro, updated to 1709 - Build 16299.192
I have a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Tablet that only boots as far as the Galaxy Logo. Needs Firmware Flash.
I installed Samsung Kies3 for this purpose.
When I connect it to my PC to work on it with Samsung Kies3, Windows 10 does not recognise the USB Connection (Notification).
Win 10 recognises that a device has been plugged in (Chimes), but Notifies that it does not identify what device it is.
The Device does not show in Device Manager (Portable Devices) or in My Computer.
The Device is obviously not Plug and Play with Win 10.
Samsung Kies3 installed the USB Driver v1.5.61.0 Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones on my PC, in its Program Folder - I notice that this Driver is US English for United States of America Country/Region - Australia is not a choice offered.
This installed driver has not changed anything and is not working as it should be.
I have tested with different Cables with same Windows Notification appearing, so I believe that the Cable is OK.
What other drivers (if any) are required for this device to be recognised by Win 10 and how are they to be installed.
What else could the problem be.
Help Please.
