My Samsung Galaxy-S-23 Phone Not Connecting with Laptop After Windows 11 Update

Hello everyone,

 

I hope you're all doing well. I recently updated my laptop to Windows 11, and I've been encountering some issues with connecting my Galasy-S-23 phone to it. Before the update, everything was working fine, but now the connection seems to be problematic. I wanted to reach out to this forum to see if anyone else has experienced a similar problem and if there are any potential solutions.

 

Here's a bit more detail about the issue I'm facing. When I connect my Galaxy-S-23 to my laptop via USB, it doesn't show up as a recognized device. The phone charges, so I know the USB port is functioning properly, but it doesn't establish a data connection. I've tried different USB cables and ports on my  intel laptop, but the problem persists.

 

I have already tried the following troubleshooting steps without success:

 

Restarting both the phone and the laptop.

Updating the USB drivers on my laptop.

Enabling USB debugging mode on the phone and reconnecting.

Changing the USB connection mode on the phone (MTP/PTP).

None of these steps have resolved the issue, and I'm at a loss for what to try next. It's frustrating because I frequently transfer files between my phone and laptop, and this connection problem is causing a significant inconvenience.

 

If anyone has encountered a similar problem or has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate your input. Is there a specific driver or software update that I might be missing? Could it be a compatibility issue between  Windows 11 and the Galaxy-S-23? Any insights or solutions would be immensely helpful.

 

Thank you in advance for your time and assistance. I look forward to hearing from you.

 

Best regards,

Tammy Gombez

In my case , the solution was to change the cable.  it instantly fixed things.  Im attaching a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra to a Win 11 desktop.  

One thing you may also want to try is enabling Developer Mode on your phone, and then you can define what happens when you connect your phone to the computer.  In my case, I chose (under settings) Developer Options, Default USB Configuration, and then Transferring Files/Android Auto.

The phone then shows up as its own line-item under This PC on the windows explorer view.

 

I hope this helps people.  BTW to enable Developer Options on the Samsung Galaxy is to go to Settings, About Phone, Software Information, and then tap on Build Number 10x and you'll enable Dev Options/Mode.
