Again, it’s another nuke, but I often find it takes less time to set up Windows 10 from scratch than it does to try and troubleshoot an especially problematic issue you’re having with the OS. If the another Windows 10 computer lets you access your Android, and yours does not, my initial thought would be to just say “screw it” and reinstall your version of Windows 10.

Even though you weren’t able to come up with a working solution, the fact that you can cross out a number of ideas on your “won’t something fix this, please” list is a step in the right direction, and it helps us narrow down to a few other tricks to try. And that’s awesome! You’re already six steps ahead of the game. I apologise in advance, Stu, if this answer-turned-column is a bit short, because you’ve already done a lot of the troubleshooting I would have suggested. Connecting your Android to your PC should be easy, right?
