Do I need iCloud on, to view pics, from iPhone to PC?

I had my iPhone AutoLock for screen set to never, I am currently using 11.2.6, I have not yet seen an attempt for my Windows pc, to download drivers, can you be more specific? And I have tried a second usb port, both of which I have tested to working functionality. But will try a 3rd.

Oh it tries and tries and tries, both the pc and my iPhone are making noises, and a popup on the iPhone says it cannot connect over and over until I cancel.

Thanks for your help, still not working.

If iTunes doesn't recognize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod - Apple Support

Restart your computer, try a different cord.

All I want to do is access the available pics on my iPhone X to my pc, so I can select and print a few, but......

I am getting a message after signing in to iTunes that my pc is locked out, I believe it read, and cannot connect when plugging in my iPhone X into my pc. Oh it tries and tries and tries, both the pc and my iPhone are making noises and a popup on the iPhone says it cannot connect.

Could it be because I have iCloud turned off?

My purpose in keeping it off is I don't want to reach that magical 5GB number and have to start paying. I know I can delete some but iCloud auto deletes them also from my iPhone, not just the cloud.

Update 11.2.6

Icloud has nothing to do with importing pics to your computer.

Make sure you have the latest update, your phone is unlocked when connected.

If your hearing beeping noises from your computer it could mean it isn't downloading the drivers, try a different usb port.
