When I open my DCIM folders with Win10 and copy photos from my iPhone 7 to my PC, the "copied" photos aren't copies, but are much smaller resolution versions. In the past, this seemed to work perfectly, but now the file size (and resolution) of the "copied" file is much smaller.

Hello, UDiPhoneUser!
Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities!
I see from your post that when you are trying to copy pictures from your iPhone manually from an internal folder, but you're only able to see smaller resolution pictures.
Do you use iCloud Photos?
As noted in the article, Manage your photo and video storage:
"Store your photos and videos in iCloud
Your photos and videos are stored on your device in their original, high-resolution version. This means that they use a lot of space on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. With iCloud Photo Library, you can make more space available on your device and have your entire collection, everywhere you go.
Get started with iCloud Photo Library:
With Optimize Storage, smaller, space-saving photos and videos are kept on your device while all of your original, full-resolution versions are stored in iCloud. And as long as you have enough space in iCloud, you can store as many photos and videos as you want."
Since you mentioned that you are manually accessing your iPhone's internal folders for pictures. To make sure you aren't potentially downloading thumbnail preview of your pictures, I recommend that you follow these steps from the article, Transfer photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
"Import to your PC"
"You can import photos to your PC by connecting your device to your computer and using Windows Photos app:
Then, follow the steps in these Microsoft knowledge base articles to learn how to import photos to Windows Photos app:

I hope this information helps you!
Cheers.
Why do iPhone photos copy at a much smaller resolution on my Win10 PC?
