OK got it. It's a known bug with HEIC/HEVC conversion on Win. For photos, change the setting to "Keep originals" at the very bottom of Settings > Photos on the phone. Then use any free converter and convert them to JPEG. No workaround for videos at the moment, unfortunately, except excluding them from the transfer or using third-party apps (check iMazing if you'll decide to try one, no major issues for 2 years so far, guide if needed).


Also you can use Image Capture if you have a Mac (native macOS app). Trying on another PC may work as well (bug happens not on all computers for whatever reason).
