    Re: trouble with connecting a galaxy s21 to win 10 tower Yes I tried a different cable, no change. What made the difference was turning off tethering. Now all I need to figure out how to move the phone contact list from the tower to the S21 QUOTE mustang7757 Have you tried a different USB c cable?

    Re: trouble with connecting a galaxy s21 to win 10 tower BTW I also have a USB type C connector to micro SD card reader/writer adapter. Failing to get the USB cable working. The SD card adapter would work to read/write between the phone and the tower. The tower has a built in multi type card reader

    Re: trouble with connecting a galaxy s21 to win 10 tower

    Re: trouble with connecting a galaxy s21 to win 10 tower OK!!!!!! Now Win is seeing and talking to the S21 phone. Don't ask me why it is now working because I don't know why. BTW the USB tethering was on. When the tethering is on Win can't see the S21.
