"A device attached to the system is not functioning" An Error Coping File or Folder to PC

When I'm plugin my iPhone XS Max to the PC to download pictures and videos,

as I always did. I'm selecting all files (or some) and coping or Cut & Paste, the device stops working and I'm getting An Error Coping File or Folder - "A device attached to the system is not functioning" !


How can I fix it?!

iPhone XS Max, iOS 13
