Why won't my computer recognize my Nexus 4?

My computer won't recognize my Nexus 4

Ok, so my Nexus 4 just isn't being recognized by my Windows 8.1 Computer. I do have USB drivers installed. When I go to Device Manager, there is Android Device. Under that there is "Android Composite ADB Interface" and "Google Nexus 4 ADB Interface" The "Android Composite Interface" has a error/warning thingy on it( it is a yellow triangle with an exclamation point). I have tried many different things, and I have had this problem for like 3 months. Can someone please help me?

Welcome to Android Central! Have you tried removing/uninstalling everything under Android Device in the Windows Device Manager, unplugging the phone, then plugging it back in via USB, allowing the Plug and Play process to reinstall the drivers?

Hi, Have the same problem. when I checked device manager, android wasn't listed, should say I've only plugged my android to my PC once before and it worked fine.

A yellow triangle means that the driver didn't install properly. Izdihar, if you have no phone plugged into the computer, the driver won't show. When the phone is plugged in you should have at least one or two drivers for it showing in Device Manager.
