Computer can't detect my phone

[InStinct91]

I have a Samsung A54, recently purchased. I wanted to transfer my Gallery to my Lenovo Laptop. When I connect the charger to the PC, I don't get a notification "USB charging". The phone is charging, but I don't get a notification and my Laptop also doesn't react to my phone being connected in any way. Even after entering developer mode on my phne and changing the USB default to "file transfer" my PC won't detect it. I tried using Phonelink, that appeared to almost work, but I can't access my full gallery there, at least, there is no easy way to transfer all photos from the gallery to my PC. I tried Quickshare, but apparently my Laptop is not compatible because my Bluetooth driver is not Intel. In my last desperation I sent all the photos to myself on Messenger and downloaded them manually one by one. It made the process extremely tedious, and also, questionably safe. I'd love to get some help or advice.

Hi, this a reply to anyone having the Windows not recognising any Samsung device for File transfers including photos. 

Everything that has been sad in the last 4 years about this is *****. It is not true it does not work. It mighjt work with some people but it is a matter of time before it will not work. 
Why should we all use Clouds and One Drives And windows link etc? Why can we not as before use the simple FTP Phone to PC?
I will tell you all.
Google, Microsoft, probably also Apple and  and all Android based device Manufacturers, want to see and know what we transmit. Most certainly under pressure from secret services from just about all countries in the world. Be not fooled. Otherwise it would work. 
My example. Always use Samsung. I have currently running, A33, A52s and S24. A33 and S24, do not have an issue but the A52 has. Nothing works unless i sign i to MS account Use Windows Link etc. Or use simply BT. although I have not bothered to use the last two, because BT is unsafe, jitters and which damages files,  and the Windows link cloud etc I do not trust has "They" have access to all my data and files. 

I dissected my A52 as much as I could to figure out what might be hidden and doing this. No luck so far. 

Some people have stated that reset the whole phone works. Right but how do we do a back up if one cannot connect anywhere to transfer files? 
About time Samsung comes out and explains why we pay a fortune for a Phone that is blocked or blocks itself after a few Software updates. They always claim that the latest software is there because there are security issues. Well imho the security issues are the politics of spying into our phones. 
If one is active in political comments which might go against the grain, one is marked and that is it. 

SAMSUNG must tell the clients the truth. All the rest here is BS. I am not connecting through Clouds and Windows links anymore. I have had it. 2 years of research and still nothing works. There are lot of click hunters out there always suggesting the same procedures. Good luck to you all. and if you find a real solution let me know by PM. Thank you
