I have an A33 phone. And have synced it with my PC for several years.
Suddenly the phone does not appear in Explorer (on ALL my 3 PCs!).

The MTP Device is detected OK (not errors reporting).
Also Smart Swicth won't detect phone when I plug it in.
Also tried reinstalling drivers and Smart Switch on Windows 10.

Tried resetting all app settings on my phone and different cables.
But MTP drives still won't show up in Explorer on any of the PCs 😞

Anyone have any idea what is wrong?  Everything look OK in settings both
on the phone and on the PC.  Can't factory reste the phone either as
I can't take any backup (as Smart Switch don't see the phone either).

When you connect your phone, does a notification appear for USB mode? It might be set to Charge Mode so then it won't show. Once you change it to file transfer mode the internal storage will show. Secondly is that on latest 6.1 it requires you to unlock the device to make internal storage show or it won't due to a security safety.

Everything looked OK on all PCs.
Ended up factory resetting my phone and restoring backup.
Then it worked again. So something must have happened to the phone.
