When this Android 15 smartphone is connected to my Windows11 PC via USB, 
it does not show up in Windows Explorer at all. And no message on the 
phone about allowing access. Therefore I use an app, Cx File Explorer, 
for transfering files between Phone and PC. I have tried different 
cables: one with USB-A in one end and USB-C in the other, and one with 
USB-C in both ends.
My old Android 4 phone is visible in Windows Explorer on PC when 
connected via USB, and files can be transferred.
