For a windows 8 computer my solution after 2 days of forums and no viable answer (as i refused to reinstall iTunes) was this:

"Action Center" ( control panel>system and security>action center )

on the bottom left hand side of the screen it will say "Windows Program Compatibility Troubleshooter"

--click on that and select iTunes. when prompted, select the recommended settings. phone recognized.

hopefully helpful to someone.
