Anyone know a solution to this? My laptop still uses Window 7 and for some reason it "forgets" various devices. For instance my Galaxy S4, I plug it in via USB and windows can not find it. Meanwhile the same phone works fine on other PC's. The same thing happened with my old Nexus 4, both phones at first were detected just fine and then after a bit of time Windows stopped seeing them when I plugged them in.

I have the same issue when trying to plug in my old Canon 10d, windows can't see it, so I have to pull the SD card and use a reader. Meanwhile other windows machines can see the camera just fine.

I have a Galaxy Note Pro and windows sees it just fine, but it seems hit or miss with various devices. It makes it a pita to pull video or photo's off my phone. I have to transfer them from the phone to a usb device and then from the usb device to the pc.

Anyone have any ideas what causes this?
