...which no-one has answered.
In my case, they occur when I am importing a long video (>1min?) and I have let the iPhone screen go blank (which it will do during a long transfer). At that point the PC stops the transfer and produces the above error. Once I have the error, the only reliable way to be able to resume the import process is to turn the iPhone off (completely), turn it back on, re-start the transfer AND KEEP THE iPhone SCREEN LIT (by touching it every minute or so).
It would be nice if Apple and/or Microsoft support people could explain what is really going on, and whether a solution is possible. My workaround seems to work for me, but it's frustrating that I have to keep watching the iPhone to make sure the phone "stays awake".
I'm using a fully patched Windows 10 PC and IOS 15.6.1 on an iPhone 8.
