Hello. Try Samsung Smart Switch for pc (you won't need the app as you are not switching from an old phone). It should load the latest drivers.
Also if you have a secure screen lock it won't read it, so swipe or none only for the Lock Screen setting.
It won't appear as a drive number any more apparently, after KitKat, but you can browse it as normal as a Portable Media Player.
Other considerations: you may be using a different one way cable, or the usb port is faulty.

And if you're not using the cable that comes with it, it may be a power-only cable, like the ones that come with wireless headsets. (Why eliminate 2 wires? Because copper is close to $3/pound now, and if you can eliminate 48" of wire in hundreds of thousands of cables, you've saved a lot of money. And the bean counters squeeze pennies so hard that Lincoln's run out of tears.)
