Ok. This should be the 3rd time I am asking this question on the community and not a single person has replied. The community I knew about a year and a half ago would have helped me with this issue. So ill try again. I have a Nokia Lumia 830 and I need to connect it to my phone. USB is enabled in settings on my phone as always but there seems to be an issue with the drivers on my device. Ill post a video of this issue. Ive tried so many sites, saying different things but nothing works. 

Here:

MTP ERROR

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Devices and drivers

    Hi.

    I don't why this worked for me or if it might even work for you, but what I did was locate the following file 'wpdmtp' in C:\Windows\INF.

    I right-clicked on it and updated it.

    Suddenly, my PC recognised my Lumia 535, even though if I try to update the driver I still get the same error.

    Well, as long as my phone shows up, I don't really care. Hope that helps.
