Android手机是如此幸福,对吗?它只是一个无线、不知疲倦、完美无瑕的幸福盒子,具有无穷无尽的功能。从聆听美妙的歌曲到在线观看精彩的视频,甚至是“完美自拍”,它都能为您完成。但有时当内部存储器已满且 SD 卡阻塞时,您必须将这些文件传输到您的 PC。但是当您的 Windows 10 不承认您的手机时会发生什么?令人心碎(Heartbreaking),对吧?我知道。
通常,当您将Android手机连接到Windows时,它会将其验证为MTP(媒体传输协议)(MTP (Media Transfer Protocol))设备并继续进行。
在过去的几年里,与台式机和笔记本电脑共享内容已经得到了改进,尽管这可以通过无线方式完成,但用户更喜欢使用传统电缆,因为文件传输速度更快,而且更有效,即几乎没有甚至没有断开连接的风险。
但是,文件传输可能并不总是按预期工作。有许多报告指出,他们的台式机或笔记本电脑上没有识别/检测到 android 设备。这是很多安卓用户的通病。

Heartbreaking, right? I know.
Usually, when you connect an Android phone to Windows, it will verify it as an MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) device and proceed further.
Sharing content with desktops and laptops has been improved upon over the past few years and even though this can be done wirelessly, users prefer the use of a traditional cable as file transfer happens much faster and it is much more effective i.e. there is little to no risk of disconnection.
