I have rebooted, I have tried every USB plug, I rebooted my iPhone, I updated the software on my iPhone, I ran the updates on Windows 10, I ran the updates for the Mcafee virus scan software and I ran the updates for iTunes. Update, update, update, I would love a week to go buy when I don't have updating and rebooting on the computer. What now?
If I reinstall iTunes, will I lose all my iTunes music?
I have tried everything in the book. Read to recommendations from internet search and apple. I am about to take hammer to two iPhone 6s, iPhone 5s and iPad.
I think apple must rethink its support and offer better solutions otherwise they end up in never never land.

I'm having the same problem...tried all of the steps listed above and three different Lightning cables. I had to replace my phone last week (broken screen), and even the "restore from iCloud backup" didn't work properly after the swap. Like the OP, I just want to be able to transfer files from my computer to my phone, and getting a little frustrated.
I have had thew same issue, and my wife is too and she has a iphone 5s. Ive checked my apple device manager and its running fine. this blows and both apple and Microsoft are dropping the ball, IMO.
