So to include more details, these are the exact steps I have been trying.
Step 1-Connect my OnePlus3 mobile device using original cable to THIS PC, this shows me the below;
As you can see, there are no media devices listed here.
Step2-Have tried to open the "CD Drive (E:) OnePlus Drivers and run the USB driver file", which gets installed successfully (assumed, since there were no errors).
Step3- After installing the drivers, the Device Manager still shows below;
Step4- Have tried online solutions, as below
a. Reboot & choose the advanced menu in windows 10 to disable diver signature verification etc. and try again.
b. Try and install manually by referencing the wpdmtp.inf file etc.
But still no success, none of these methods actually lets me see my device in My Computer/THIS PC.
