Laptop doesn't recognize connected android device.

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We appreciate your effort on this. We understand that when you connect your Android device to the computer it is not recognized, we will look into this for you.



As per the description, the Android device only charges when you connect it to the computer. Hence, we would like to know if you see any Unknown device in Device Manager. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows key + X, and select
   Device Manager.
   
2. In Device Manager window, check if there is a section of
   Unknown device.
   
3. If you see Unknown device, right click on it and select
   Update Device.
   
4. If prompted, restart the computer.
   

I would also suggest you to follow the steps from the article Error:
“USB Device not recognized” when you try to access a USB external hard drive except Method 2 and see if that makes any difference.



Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.

Hi Mohamad,

This issue may have something to do with the driver. We recommend that you update the driver by following these steps:

• Connect your Android device to your computer
• Press Windows + X and select Device Manager.
  
• Locate your Android device.
  
• Right click the device and select Update Driver Software.
• Select Search automatically for updated driver software.

Let us know how it goes.
