Windows 10: Your Phone // Connection via USB

Unfortunately, at work i can not have my PC and android device on the same WiFi network, hence i am missing out on the app/screen link. Is there a way this can be connected with USB connection?

No drive mounts when phone connect to computer through USB

I managed to solve the problem myself, but having taken advice from various sources am unsure which steps are required to fix the problem. Here is what I advise. Keep in mind this is for Cyanogenmod, not stock Android.

1. As per David Woodword's answer, make sure the correct Windows Media Player Feature Pack's are installed: Windows 10 (build 1511) and Windows 10 Anniversary Edition (build 1607).
   
2. On the phone, under settings > developer options > revoke USB debugging authorizations
   
3. From XDA-developers forum "download "usb mass storage enabler" form google play" and use it.
   
4. When the phone is connected to the computer through a USB cable, the notice in the status bar header appears "Connected as a media device / Touch for other USB options". Touch it and toggle the settings. For example check and uncheck MTP or change to Charge only and back. The first time I did this the app froze.

Supported phones for Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview Mobile

Your list confirms my phone is eligible, Lumia 521. The windows Insider App fails after ~ 15 seconds, restores data and gives me error 80073cf9. I trouble shot this and went thru all the steps mentioned on several websites including MS without any luck. Short of a hard reset, this is where I am now. Suggestions appreciated.
