I'll keep it simple, for some reason whenever I connect a Gopro or an Android smartphone to my Windows 10 based PC tower via a USB port, it won't show up as a removable drive in "My Computer" for me to extract the image files from. I've been able to do it at first, but then I appear to have lost that ability after a recent OS update. I've tried "searching for device" and the device troubleshooting feature but to no avail.
I could get a card reader but it will need to come with a pair of tweezers and a magnifying glass to handle the tiny SDHC memory card, hence finding it easier just to connect the actual host device straight to a USB port.
The only clue I've been able to find is that the latest version of Windows 10 doesn't support MTP mode - as it does all work on an older Windows 7 laptop with no problems. However, I am still able to charge up the GoPro and Android smartphone via the tower PC's USB anyway.
