Apple Device Support Drivers missing

My desktop PC suddenly decided that it wouldn't connect to my iPhone 7+ hotspot anymore, in fact when I insert the cable into a USD port it charges the phone but it isn't recognised as a device. I have tried inputting %ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers, but this comes up as not found. Any one got any ideas?


Windows, Windows 10

Security Software on a PC:

Any Security Software on your PC? If so, then it may not be letting it get attached as a trusted device. So, allow the connection to go through.


Try Verifying if it is Seen:

View the Device Manager, and see if it is a Hidden Device.
