Why are all my files via MTP either missing or blank 0kb files or blank local disks

A

AC Question

Basically my Galaxy S6 Edge+ (SM-G928V, Android 5.1.1) will mount to my PC and I won't be able to access the files. I open the phone's drive and I usually get several unlabeled hard-drive thumbnails along with a few 0b blank files (File type: File).
In addition if I try to manually copy a file to the phone while it is in this condition I get the error dialog "The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected." I usually use Winamp to sync files to my phone and this prevents me from doing so.
I have tried dumping the system cache to fix this to no avail.
I have done a factory reset 3 times. It fixes the problem initially for about 2 plug ins and then reverts. Anytime I want to add new music, I have to factory reset.
I have updated the portable device drivers on my computer.
I have enabled developer mode and switched from MTP to PTP back to MTP.
I have tried using a different USB cable.
I have also tried booting the phone from safemode. Didn't fix the problem
I don't know what to do anymore. I suspect the issue may be with Windows 10 itself because I can access the files fine on the phone.
I have been using Windows 10 since last summer. I have had this phone since October. This issue only appeared this past week
I have no SD card to remove.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.
