iPhone 14 Pro doesn't show up when connected to laptop by USB cable


My problem is that my iPhone is not showing up in Windows 10.


Before I did this Fresh Start thing which to be honest I wish I had never done as it's caused me more problems than it solved, when I connected my iPhone 14 Pro to the laptop the Photos app would open and I could select whatever photos I wanted and download them to a folder on my desktop. Now when I connect my phone it connects okay, it makes the wee noise it always made, and it starts to charge, but it doesn't open photos and it doesn't appear as a drive on my computer. The only drives that show are my C and D drives.


If I open the photos app and click on Import it says connected devices will show here but nothing appears.


The phone is obviously connected, it's charging, I've tried various cables and ports but it makes no difference.


I went into settings on my phone, General, Transfer or reset iPhone, Reset, Reset location & Privacy, entered my passcode, Reset Settings, plugged my phone back in, clicked on Trust this computer and re-entered my passcode, and it still doesn't appear!


Anyone got any ideas what is wrong here please?


Windows, Windows 10
