Windows 8 is not the problem, what you need are Asus drivers.......

Is there anybody who have the drivers?

Install Asus Sync on your PC, download the drivers and place in program files. You may have to manually install the drivers once the Asus is connected.

It took several goes for me to get the drivers installed.
I don't know if you need to start sync too - if so, do so from the tablet's settings first.
You might also need to experiment with the storage settings and remove an SD card if you have it mounted
Google for Connect Asus to PC and similar terms.
It does work, I promise.
PS
Try Airdroid app if you want to connect wirelessly and not via USB cable

I did make Asus sync Ok in the settings, and i installed it on the computer. It finds my tablet and it's possible to sync contacts and calender, I think. But I can't the the drivers to work the Mtp has a yellow warning sign! And when I try to update the driver it fails. I've uninstalled it to, still nothing works..

Are the drivers actually installed? You need to select the tablet when connected to the PC and make sure that the drivers are installed. Under Device Manager, under portable devices (while Transformer is plugged in), you will see Transformer. Right click it and choose to update driver manually. Choose the location where you unzipped MTP folder of the download. This should update the windows driver then.

FOR EVERYBODY OVERLY [SOMETIMES SICKENINGLY] FAMILIAR WITH WINDOWS MANUAL DRIVER INSTALLS, HERE'S WHERE THOSE MTD DRIVERS ARE PUT BY THE ASUS SYNC FOR WINDOWS XP DOWNLOAD:
C:\Program Files\ASUS\ASUS Android USB Drivers\MTP
FOR EVERYBODY ELSE, READ ON:
Hey, had the same issue here, thinking it was the fact that ASUS is showing nothing past XP under their Windows downloads, so maybe a compatibility issue with their Sync setup (primarily, not copying the MTD drivers to the correct place during setup).
Having had MUCH WORSE issues with my fave little ol' Sansa Express MP3 player years ago when its battery died completely, I cracked my knuckles, sighed, and dug in for a long haul.
Luckily, I tried this first, since dealing with Windows version compatibility is much more common, so more familiar/easier.
(Of course, I was doing something different, but I'll be doing what you're doing, soon enough).
Download ASUS sync for your tabbie here:
https://www.asus.com/Tablets_Mobile/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_TF300T/#support_Download_17
Of course, it puts everything where it should, except the very important MTD files--but obviously ASUS included them--for me (32-bit Win7), they were HERE:
C:\Program Files\ASUS\ASUS Android USB Drivers\MTP
Plug your tablet to your PC via it's USB cable, wait for the Windows driver search to appear, then tell Windows to 'skip obtaining driver software from windows update'. Let it fail (that's where some of the best stuff begins!)
Go to Control Panel, Device Manager...open it.
As with some of the worst driver issues I've seen, I didn't see anything other than a single driver there--'ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T'' (see pic)--so I clicked 'Action' up top, then 'Add Legacy Hardware' (single-click something in the lower driver listings to enable this option), then 'Next', then 'Install the hardware that I manually select from a list', then 'Show All Devices'.
You don't have to wait for this list to populate--just click 'Have Disk', then 'Browse', then find the proper ASUS MTD driver at the location I described in this line above-->>>C:\Program Files\ASUS\ASUS Android USB Drivers\MTP
These will be annoying click-out submenus, but be patient--you're almost done.
Click through the rest, and you're done...NEARLY.
As is typical with this manual driver stuff (esp. storage drivers like this), I had to restart my PC to finish this driver install (and 'yes', I really did try and cheat Windows out of another 10 minutes of MY LIFE by running the ASUS Sync program on my PC, but it didn't work until rebooting).
Spoiler alert! (Upon reboot, it worked)
[ahem]
Upon reboot, it worked. I ran ASUS Sync, and [finally!!!] am seeing it recognized my tablet as what it is, and life began again after my millionth+6 Windows driver issue. (PLEASE remind me to personally 'thank' Bill G. wherever I see him after death).
EPILOGUE:
Why ASUS failed to update its driver update page after Windows XP, I'll never know, this being a little harder than the ole 'Compatibility Mode' install route...but this worked for me, and despite this little stutter-step, I'll be reaping whatever benefits ASUS sync gives me, but honestly, it wasn't even what I needed to back up my Home Page settings on my TF300T in order to factory reset the thing, because, like some here, mine is performing MUCH slower than it should, even in Performance Mode (but, hey, I got mine from a local pawn shop, so--that's expected, y'know).
ENJOY! Hope this helps, most of the time I feel I've nothing to contribute here...XDA is WAY over my wittle head!
What's really odd is that, even after doing all this, my Device Manager driver listing for the tablet still looks like the attachment I posted here, yet the thing appears to be working fine. Double-clicking on the 'kicked-out' drivers shows 'Device Failed to Start'...this is probably because Windows isn't actually using the ADB and MTD drivers until immediately upon running the ASUS Sync application, though.

I've tried all of this. But still I cannot get Sync to work. In my 64-bit Windows 7 device manager I have it listed as portable device.
I can copy files to and from it in my Explorer. I have no devices that have not been properly installed anywhere in my list. So what to do now?

Have you tried going into your Windows 'Device Manager' and deleting ALL your old occurances of EVERY Android device there (making sure to check 'uninstall drivers' as well during this process)...then starting with that last link I sent cha, again (the universal ADB link)?
Try this--at some point, I was also forced to do this...maybe more than once.

[Q] Nexus/Android with Win 8 is a pathetic story

Hello
:crying:
I got my N5 today, and like my wife's N7 and my N10, NONE of them will show up on windows explorer (windows 8.1)
I can unlock, root, install custom recovery, all good, but as far as actually SEEING my device on the computer so I can drag and drop stuff, well, I literally have been spending almost a day trying to sort that out and have not got any closer at all. It is really pathetic.
I've changed the windows Unsigned drivers thing (though the drivers must be ok if I can do all that other rooting etc)
But yet when I uninstall the drivers to try installing them again, win8 says "Android ADB Interface. The third party INF does not contain digital signature information"
But I'm pretty sure that when I reinstall them AGAIN, I will still nto be able to see any of my Nexus devices on Windows explorer... despite them showing up in the Windows Notification under USB, and they are mounted there... I can UNmount them!
Something is way off kilter here, its with 3/3 devices, perhaps win8.1 is completly Android unfriendly, or?
Advice/help MUCH appreciated for someone who is going nuts here.

Did you turn MTP off to install the drivers to make sure ADB is working correctly? If so, did you check it to turn it back on? I am having no issues with Windows 8.1.

Same in Windows 7, I can't see my mates N5 on my Windows 7 machine but it's fine on his (he got the generic drivers from Windows update whereas I had mine from the Google SDK so that might be something to do with it?...)

It's just hit-or-miss. It's not Windows 8.
My work computer got a fresh image about 2 months ago. I've plugged other Android devices in, but haven't plugged in a Nexus device (or one that utilizes MTP the same way). I plugged in the N5 when I got it, and it worked flawlessly. My gaming PC at home has the Android SDK installed and it worked perfectly there. My HTPC does not have the Android SDK installed and nothing shows up in My Computer at all.
It's a weird android thing.

There has to be a physical reason for it (unless we are to consider the metaphysical - past lives, re-incarnation of gadgets, Steve Jobs curses and stuff...) and it does amaze me that it still seems so hit and miss. When I first got onto android a few years back, you just plugged your phone into USB, ANY ONE ON ANY COMPUTER and whammo, you'd get both Ext SD adn Int SD mounted... reliably. I'm sure that was causing security and stability issues so all manufacturers seem to have snuffed that out.
so that MTP toggle is at settings > Storage > settings in storage
but it makes no difference still not vis in WinExplorer
Cheers

Settings/Storage then hit the advanced menu button on the top right to enter "USB computer connection" and make sure MTP is checked.

I had this problem extensively, when trying to Root my Nexus, I went through uninstalling and re-installing drivers repeatedly, it was obnoxious, but i did end up getting it to work, so don't necessarily give up. I am running Win 8.1 though, eventually i had to go through Wug's Root Kit, and into the advanced driver installation settings, and install the raw drivers. (By booting windows into disabling secure driver certs.) Once i did that it gave me significantly more access, also try toggling your camera one on, the PTM or something, and switching back and forth with MTP.

I must say, I did leave that part out of my replies. I too installed the raw drivers using Wugs toolkit. Maybe that is the x-factor.

Enable USB debugging in developer options.

Nexus Root Toolkit includes a variety of USB drivers you can try, as well as a few utilities to help you diagnose and fix android driver problems. That's where I would start. You don't need to use it to root or anything (unless you want to) but the driver utilities in the toolkit have fixed a number of problems I've had with android drivers over the years. I currently have my nexus 5 / 7 / galaxy working fine on two computers with windows 8.1

Not really the same at all but I had a hard time getting my S3 to be recognized on my computer at work running XP.
In the end the problem was the generic USB drivers that were installed had to be manually removed; even the official Samsung drivers wouldn't overwrite them. After a bit of digging and prodding I got it to work.
My Nexus was recognized without issue on my Win 8 machine.

You'll have to try a variety of different drivers to get it to show up properly. My N4 and Note 3 had no issues showing up, but the N5 wouldn't. I had to uninstall all the old drivers and started with brand new Google drivers to get the N5 to show up. Now it's there.

This happens to me every single time with a new device so I know exactly what to do now. It's not a driver issue, it's a problem with windows 8 and how it searches for drivers.
If you have the Android SDK installed properly just open up device manager > right click on android device > Update driver software > browse my computer > Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer > select the google adb driver from here.

Another problem I had was remembering to accept the ADB on my phones end, I never had to do that with my HTC one, so when going through rooting the raw drivers were likely unnecessary, I just hadn't noticed the primly on my phone when the first drivers I installed worked.

Hello guys, thanks for the various responses...

Yeah, i have tried that and it says I have the best drivers already installed. Oddly I can use Nexus Root Toolkit fine, so there has to be something right about the drivers... just not the part that shows up on a computer.
I'm convinced there HAS to be some scientific way of doing this, its such a common problem, it would be great to really figure it out. The problem is, one has to try 100 things before it works, so it becomes almost impossible to know which actions to attribute as the solution!

a solution - possibly useful...
Hello guys
Following Wugfresh's instructions to the T...
I tried drivers Option 1, (Universal) and the result was exactly as with the Raw (Option 4) drivers... So I uninstalled the drivers, ran ran USBDeview and uninstalled 7 devices like "Google Nexus ADB Interface" and "USB Composite device" and "Nexus 10".
Then tried Option 2.
The installation did not go exactly according to Wugfresh visual guide, so I cant be certain, but I do know that installingPDANET drivers only work if you select MTP, otherwise it will not find the tablet/phone.
After the instalation, the app called PDANET installed on computer, not on my tablet. My PC showed a pop up notification when tablet USB debugging is turned on, but again, it was not visible in windows explorer.
I then was going to try Option 4 again, and Uninstalled drivers in device manager WHILE I STILL HAD THE TABLET STILL PLUGGED IN, so I am guessing though PDANET uninstalled, the drivers remained (which I think is what Wugfresh's process would have done if it had run according to plan. I ran USBDeview and uninstalled the same 7 devices.
Then
Plugged tablet back in to attempt Raw drivers, but all of a sudden, the device was recognised and for the first time visible fully in Internet Explorer!
So basically it seemed to be the PDANET drivers that worked, though I have no idea if that would have worked had I tried these drivers in the first place.
I hope that helps someone!

OP, are you running W8.1 64 bits or 32 bits ??
I had my Sony Viao running W8 64 bits & hated it, downgraded to W7 64 bits and it's very happy getting along with Nexus 7 - going to play with N5 later on. Good old Dell Latitude is running W7 32 bits and it's my main machine to unlock, root & flash and so far so good - yet, I was reading about someone running Vista and had issues with the usb drivers.
I have 2 fully licensed W8 safely tucked away and the way it's looking, I might never get out of W7 - let alone then upgrading to 8.1 for free - getting reminders from $S a few things already.
Most of the time, the mess are caused by conflicting drivers installed & loaded - I keep a clean & lean desktop to do these bench work, and even though it is a PITA, starting clean with minimal programs (and apps) installed is often a good start - turn off antivirus & firewall, especially if connectivity is not needed - enabled access only if it is required and/or necessary.

I've also noticed that on my Nexus 4 I can only access adb in PTP mode, doesn't work at all with MTP enabled.

64 on the two PC's in the same room, HTPC's and laptop are 32 I think, but I have not tried them. I did a fresh Win 8.1 install on Tuesday and had no drivers from any devices other than the ones I manually installed with Wug.

Yeah, well try the PDANET (worked for me, though was my last resort as I don't like to install stuff that is a/ meant for something else, b/has some software I dont need that comes with it... but I did manage to keep the drivers and UNinstall PDANET software by keeping the tablet plugged in when I uninstalled PDANET... try it.

Z5C not connecting in USB debug mode

Hi everyone
I'm just about to give up on trying to connect my Z5 Compact to my Windows 7 x64 development PC – I hope someone here knows something else I could try. I've searched the web for hints and information all week, and tried every suggestion I could find. I rebooted both phone and PC countless times, tried different USB ports and controllers, reset the phone to factory settings, installed and re-installed all the drivers I could find, cleaned up the Windows drivers cache, but I still cannot get my phone to connect or show up in ADB.
The connection works perfectly fine if the phone is not in USB debug mode. It shows up in Windows Device Manager as "Xperia Z5 Compact", I can browse the file system from Windows Explorer, etc. However, as soon as I switch on USB Debugging, Device Manager shows the phone as a non-working device "E5823". All the drivers that are supposed to work with this device refuse to install. I tried the drivers that come with Sony PC Companion, the Z5 Compact drivers downloaded directly from Sony Developer World (version from November 13th), as well as the generic Google Composite ADB drivers that come with the Android SDK, which other owners of the Z5 report should also work. For all of these drivers, Windows tells me that they're not compatible with the E5823 device in question. I can force-install any of these drivers against Windows' warnings by selecting them manually, after which the device will show up as working properly in Device Manager, but I still can't do anything with it – it won't show up as a device on ADB, nor do I ever get the key authorisation on the phone that usually shows up when connecting in debug mode. On the same system, I can deploy to other Android devices fine, including an Xperia Tablet Z and a Z1 Compact (I removed those drivers to make sure that they're not the problem).
I'm on Windows 7 Enterprise x64 SP-1 and my Z5C is on stock firmware 32.0.A.6.152.
I'm at a loss at what to try next and would be grateful for any help. Thanks!
Daniel

Try this maybe from : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...t-show-my-xperia-z-got-proper-drivers-and-all
In case anyone else is still looking for a solution, this worked for me:
Download the device drivers from here http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/
Open the device manager, check whether your device name (e.g. C6903) is listed under "Other devices". If so, right click on it and select "update drivers", and use the ones you just downloaded. Done!
The problem is that the device connects as two separate devices when usb debugging is enabled on the phone, and windows didn't recognize the "debugging device". So I had to install the appropriate drivers manually.

Thank you for the reply! Unfortunately, this one doesn't work for me…
I'm not sure about the phone showing up as two devices, the only one I see appearing in USB debugging mode is the E5823 one. When trying to update its drivers, Windows reports that it can find no compatible drivers in the folder extracted from the driver download on the Sony website. The same is true for the drivers folder of PC Companion and the Android SDK USB driver folder.
If I force Windows to install the drivers from the Sony website (showing up as "Sony sa0113 ADB Interface Driver", the warning will go away and the device properties say it's functioning correctly. However, still nothing works; no device shows up in ADB and I get no key acception prompt on the phone.

Very strange. I hadn't tried this myself with my Z5 but I just did now with no problem. Driver from Sony Dev site (Android SDK driver didn't work for me).

Did you try enabling non-secure ADB via *#*#2673#*#*
Dunno what else might be causing this. Doesn't sound like your phone is encrypted - not that that would explain it either.
Sorry, I'm just a n00b at this.
Oh yeah, one last thing. Can you try on another PC? Maybe yours is messed up a little...

Well, this turns out to be the problem! Thank you a lot for your suggestions.
I took to another PC to try the same thing, and the phone works fine using the Sony drivers. It shows up exactly as in your screenshot, under the "Sony sa0113" device category, got the key authorisation prompt and it immediately showed up in ADB.
I'm not sure where the problem with this first PC and USB is. It seems to be a software problem somewhere deep in the dungeons of Windows. The computer has two USB controllers with 4 ports each – I tried all of them, and several cables, which all work with other devices, but this phone simply won't register (and again, it's only in USB debugging mode that I have the problem, regular syncing and MTP file transfer work fine). So I would still be very appreciative of any hints, if anyone has ideas on what else I could try to fix it…
Thanks!

I'd definitely try properly removing possible conflicting drivers from your PC, like old Sony ones for a start. I use DriverStore Explorer [RAPR] to clear old drivers out.
Removing/uninstalling from Device Manager does not delete the files from Windows so if your Sony drivers are misconfigured somehow, they'll stay that way next time you reconnect your phone and Windows reinstalls them.

That's good to know. I was about to try the DriverStore Explorer, unfortunately I decided to go with another suggestion from someone at the office first, which was to reinstall the USB controller drivers.
He told me to remove the controllers from the device manager and reboot, at which point Windows would automatically reinstall them. Unfortunately, that didn't work, so instead of the USB controllers I now have to completely "unknown devices" which won't install at all. Windows doesn't find any drivers online or locally, and even the chipset and USB drivers that came with my mainboard don't work. So at the moment, not even my mouse and keyboard work anymore, and the only way I can currently control and try to fix anything at all anymore is by using TeamViewer on my phone as a keyboard and mouse replacement
It's probably safe to say that my mainboard is completely kaput at this point, and that this was most likely also the reason for the phone not working. I spent the entire afternoon today trying everything to get some USB functionality working again, without success. I don't think I have any other option than to replace the entire board now…

Yikes, that's a nasty tale! You should try a Windows repair install before scrapping the PC though. What have you got to lose?!

It's really just rather comical at this point. I figured out that I could at least get the mouse to work again by enabling USB Legacy mode in BIOS. The keyboard would still only work for the first few seconds on the Windows login screen though, and then just silently sign off. And the on-screen keyboard doesn't allow me to send the Ctrl+Alt+Del required to log in. All that doesn't really matter anymore now either though, because somehow after one of the last reboots my computer got kicked out of our network domain. Now it will only let me log in with a local administrator account anymore, to which I don't know the password. Every time I think it couldn't possibly get any worse... :silly:
At this point I don't think I can try anything anymore until I can get in touch with one of the guys administering the domain on Monday, because I can't even get close to accessing system restore from here. I'll actually just remove the hard drive and take it home with me, so I can at least access my files and work on my other computer...
Thanks for your help, I'll get back to this thread if after restoring my computer the phone still won't connect

Can't connect to PC for file Transfer

Brand New Unlocked S8+... Tried to connect it to my PC to use a previous copy of smart switch backup but it never connects.. Windows Explorer never displays a mounted drive either. Smart Switch Eventually comes back with Failed to connect to the device.
The Phone displays the "Attention The connected device is unable to access data pm this device. Reconnect the USB cable and try again...."
Phone is on Transfer Media files (MTP)
USB Debugging is one.
Device Manager says "Samsung Android Phone - SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface" two times - No red or yellow exclamations.
I've removed the software in device manager and restarted both the phone and the laptop multiple times.
I updated Smart Switch and did More\Reinstall Device Driver.
Does anyone else have any workarounds for this? I found one article (https://www.recovery-android.com/connect-samsung-to-computer.html) but still no success.
​

I actually have the exact same issue on windows 10. Anyone figured out a solution?

Doesn't seem like there is much help here on the 2 Samsung formums I posted on....
I know its not my windows profile as I have tried 3 different profiles as well as safe mode.
Tried 2 different sets of Samsung USB drivers and no improvement.
Like I said I had no issues on a windows XP machine or a windows 10. I didn't even need to install the USB drivers/Smartswitch on either of those machines.
We can't be the only 2 people!

Firstly, i cannot give you direct answers.
Just my thoughts.
i have a S8+. No root stock as is.
I have Lenovo laptop Win 10.
From day one, out of box, i connected
S8+ and it connected. I can do whatever
i want. Transfer data, photos videos.
ADB etc
So it should work...?
However i do realize there are quite a few things to consider......
Samsung drivers on laptop and a few other
issues..... eg
For one,
have you enabled
in Phone /Settings /Developers Option /Usb debugging.?
Normally first time when you connect
With pc /laptop you should get
a small pop-up message(on device) to allow
phone to connect.?
(that's my experience, over years)
Good luck

Yes, USB Debugging is on and connection is set to MTP.
Windows recognizes "USB Android" but dosnt install the driver successfully.
It will appear as a modem in Device manager but nothing is mountable.

I have 2 desktop pcs with win 10. One with samsung software Kies 3 and smart switch installed and the other no samsung software. Both find the device Galaxy S8+, in device manager under universal serial device controllers i have Samsung Mobile USB Composite Device. You have an adb driver I think because you have usb debugging on, i would turn usb debugging off. The pc should find a device connected to the usb and download a driver, once done the device is recognised as galaxy S8+ in my case but will not communicate with the pc until the phone has given permission. On the phone will be a message asking you to allow the connection. Hope this helps ??

Firstly i do understand that you
must be quite annoyed trying to figure
out issues. (I would) Thankfully i don't.
Bottom line is that it should work..!
My experience confirms, that S8+/laptop Win 10 works.... 100%when connected
However a few suggestions.
If you feel you checked all checkbox.?
However you never said anything
about popup notice ? granting premission
for device to connect.?
So device /laptop /pc is not "seeing" each other?
All Samsung devices I have used, first time connection gives me this popup a notice
Can't remember exact wording.
Something... eg
Device id 5786446.......
Have or does your other Samsung devices
connect etc.?
Have you tried connecting to a friend pc laptop.
An option is to go to a Samsung Care Center
and as them to test and connect.
My experience (in past) is that they should
assist you.
If it connects to friend pc or Service provider /Samsung Care Centre.
Then surely it has to be your pc/laptop?

So I turned off usb debugging and revoked the permissions on the phone, connected it to my PC.
Samsung Android (with a Yellow Exclamation) was already present in Device Manager under "other devices" so I uninstalled that.... and rescanned. My laptop attempted to reinstall but it generated a Driver Installation Failed message on "SAMSUNG_Android" - no driver found.
Device Manager once again shows the Yellow Exclamation Point

I would go on to Samsung support look up the phone and download the usb driver and install from the download. Good luck

I've downloaded the drivers from Samsung 2x.

I can vaguely remember that i had this same
issues with my Note 5 and Win 10.
This was many months/year or two, ago.
I also had yellow exclamation etc.
Further in Device manager( laptop) kept installing wrong Samsung drivers.!
I uninstalled drivers/installed and battle for a few months like this Then one day Windows
did an update and in update i noticed
Samsung drivers included etc. (must have been correct)
Ever since that update i had no issues again.
Bottom line... some drivers issue?
Not S8 +?
Good luck

In the past I had this problem I downloaded USBDeview to my PC and deleted all of the old Samsung drivers, after rebooting the PC the phone was able to connect with the PC.

Tried USBDeview and removing the Samsung drivers but no difference
Still unable to connect.

I'm having this problem as well. I'm still trying to work it out, but when I remove and re-add the device through Device Manager I get this error: "An existing device was found that is a duplicate of the device being manually installed" and the device DOES connect as a camera, just not for full file transfer.

I had the same problem and tried many of the fixes, including different USB cables and different computers and different phones. I finally figured out that the case I had on the S8+ was the problem (at least for me). I took it off and everything works.

Hi, i have a pc with windows 10 . In device manager under universal serial device controllers i have Samsung Mobile USB Composite Device. i think you should meet best mobile shop.

I have Windows on Lenovo Laptop with latest Windows updates installed. Yesterday, I downloaded Samsung Smart Switch unlocked the phone and connected it to the laptop. Smart Switch found it immediately and I did a backup. I did not need to check Device Manager. It must be a drivers problem as mentioned above.

Note 8, getting "Attention The connected device is unable to access data pm this device."
And I am only able to see some files, Sammy is a crazy fool, this is basic stuff

installed the windows fall update a week ago now connect my phone to my laptop and nothing is recognised, no phone memory and no memory card just a empty space when i click the icon where my phone should be, i've had samsung drivers installed and they have worked fine so far till today, any ideas where to find the latest drivers? and what else i can do to get access to my phone on my laptop?

solution that worked for me
On my windows 10 PC, I opened device manager (open up start and just type 'device manager') and under portable devices there was a usb device called MTP USB device or something like that (I forget the exact name) with a small triange and an exclamation mark next to it. I clicked on that and then clicked "update drivers." When the prompt comes up I chose the automatically look for drivers option. This fixed the issue and now my Galaxy s8 is recognized (it no longer says MTP USB device or whatever it was). Hopefully this works for others as well. You can also probably download the usb drivers for the phone from samsung.

Can't connect Pixel and Windows 10.

When I plug in my pixel into my Windows 10 laptop, neither device responds. This means that I get neither the AutoPlay pop up on the laptop, or the USB option notification on the phone.
What I have tried:
Plugging into a Windows 7 laptop; the AutoPlay box appears on the laptop, the USB options notification appears on the phone
Tried all USB ports on the Windows 10 laptop.
Confirmed that other USB devices appear correctly on the Windows 10 laptop
Any thoughts?
Guidance?

Have you installed the latest fastboot and adb. If not download them here and make sure to add the folder containing the files in your path or unzip the files to your Windows directory. I had the same problem on Windows 10 when I was running it and that fixed it for me.

Check in Device Manager to see if the Android device is listed. If it's listed but is indicated as not having a driver loaded, you can always download the latest drivers from https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb.html and the latest platform tools at https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip.
Extract the drivers, right click the non-working Android entry in Device Manager, point it to the main folder you extracted the drivers into and see if it'll load the drivers. This may not be the problem but worth a try. Even if it doesn't solve it on Windows 10, try the same thing on Windows 7. Windows 7 may be too old that it won't automatically find the correct necessary driver like it should on 10.

Google search terms: Windows 10, Pixel driver, XDA yields this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/guide-fix-mtp-driver-windows-10-t3570625
Simple enough? Hope it works for you.

thanks, but no luck
@Misterxtc thank you. Already tried. No luck
 @oirraW the device does not appear in Device Manager.
 @bobby janow I am familiar with Google. Believe it or not, I even went to page 3 of the search. The solution you found has been tried and does not work.

Install Linux, no drivers to install, it just works
Some dumbed down versions you might have to do
apt install adb fastboot
You never have to reboot, only if new kernel, and that too is going to change

Until you can get it to show up in Device Manager, there's nothing else you can do. Try a different USB port? Reboot the PC? Try a different cable if you have one? I can't think of anything else to try other than reinstalling Windows. I haven't had any trouble on Windows 7 or 10.

@piperx might be extending my tech skills a little too far. @roirraW "edor" ehT that is a pity.
Thanks all for your help; if I stumble across a solution, I'll post back.

Where's your sense of adventure ,?
If you can use Windows you can use Linux ?

clutching at straws but worth trying as tell the computer sees the phone and lists it you are stuck so enable developer options then enable usb debugging and set usb configuration to MTP then with the phone connected and the phone unlocked reboot the phone keeping the phone unlocked all the time.

It's not the use of it, it's the installation of a dual boot that doesn't take up too much space.
I did go have a look, suggestions are Ubuntu or Mint. Would like the smaller one.

Make a bootable USB of each distro you want to try. It's super easy with Rufus. This way you can try it without installing anything or wasting blank disks. I like Mint, it's basically Ubuntu with a face-lift.

No app needed to do simple things from command line ?

i'm not having much luck.. the device manager still either shows "pixel?" if the phone is set to no transfer.. or "MTP?" if phone set to file transfer... if I update drivers.. it says it tries then fails / had an error... any ideas?

@tithij You ever figure this out? I have the same problem I've even replaced the daughterboard but can't get the phone to show up in device manager when in bootloader mode.

I haven't actually done anything to fix it except to upgrade my phone and laptop.
Phone is on Android 9
Windows enterprise is on 1709
Now when I plug the phone in, I get the options on the phone and laptop. I choose File transfer and it works.
Not really helpful. But sometimes it seems apathy solves all problems.

If Pixel phone on connecting to windows only shows up in File Manager when you choose PTP option in the Pixel’s USB Preferences (and disappears from Explorer when you select File Transfer), you will be restricted to the DCIM and photos directory, thanks to the miserable ADB Composite driver that keeps getting updated or installed for morons who can’t handle full drive access in their pixels. ADB and PTP were designed so idiots would not need to worry about anything other than their media directories on their Pixel phones.
For anyone above age 4, full access to the Pixel SD memory is preferred. To fix the above, it is necessary to ditch the ADB drivers and get the generic MTP drivers back instead in Windows. Here’s how I did it on a Pixel 4XL with android 12 or 13:
Unplug phone, make sure Developer’s Options is ‘on’ and that USB Debugging is ‘on’
Ensure that in USB Preferences, it is defaulted to File Transfer/Android Auto and NOT to PTP
In Windows, open Device Manager, View, and check ‘show hidden files’
Then, open View-Devices by Type-Portable and delete/uninstall your Pixel phone, all of them if there’s more than one.
Then start looking for anything that says Android or ADB, and delete every shred of anything that’s an ADB Driver interface, whether composite, USB, whatever. If it has ADB in it alone or under LeMobile or Acer, it’s got to go. Uninstall and delete them
Plug in phone
Under Device Manager-View-Devices by Type-Portable find your Pixel device. Right click and Update Driver. Then, click Browse My computer, then click Let Me Choose, and then click MTB USB Device… I picked the bottom-most one
That’s it, it should work
