    Have a rooted One + 7 pro phone and have developer options in order to transfer files from phone to PC using windows 10

    So connected phone with cable onto Desktop. The phone appears on windows explorer and then keeps on disappearing when I change it to file transfer.
    Tried different ports and different cables and same issue

    Then tried it on Laptop using Win 10 and can transfer it no issues it comes up

    Have the latest drivers and windows update is up to date?

    Any other suggestions that I can check and searching google and cant seem to find the solution

    You don't need developer options or root to transfer files, you just need to plug the phone in and allow the PC access to the data when it pops up on the phone. It will then appear as any drive would and you can drag, drop and copy files as is your want.

    It does show up as a drive then disappears then reappears. So copy file from phone paste it to pc but can't as its disconnecting. I can connect other external drive etc and no problems there. They show up it's just phone but it shows up on laptop no issues. Thus thinking it's something to do with desktop settings other than phone

    Only ever happened to me if the cable is dodgy, got wet or chewed by the dog. Try another cable first up.

    Tried 2 different cables and same thing. Both cables worked on laptop.

    Not sure if something to do with the driver on desktop

    You could try Bluetooth, or even a cloud storage app like OneDrive/Dropbox etc.

    Thought I did that but did not check them all. Relatively new build and has 4 usb ports one for bluetooth, one for mouse, one for keyboard and changed it and it worked?

    Not sure why it works on one an not the other?

    Anyway sorted thanks
