Windows 10 don't recognize my Fairphone3 via USB

Help Fairphone 3

Hello,
I’m trying to connect via USB my FP3 to my pc (Windows 10 OS), but the system says me “unrecognized usb device”.
I already activate debug USB option form developer menu and changed the USB transfer option to PTP.

Anyone knows how to fix this issue? Thanks!

FP3 via USB doesn't show as drive on Windows 7

First, make sure you use a data cable, there are USB cables out there only for charging, and they will not work for data.

Second, I guess most people would want to connect via MTP to see their files.
When I had trouble with MTP on Windows 10, I did the following to get old phone or MTP stuff in the system out of the way …

  • Disconnected the phone from the computer.
  • In Control Panel - Programs and Features:
    Uninstalled everything with “MTP” or “ADB” in its name.
  • Rebooted Windows.
  • In Control Panel - Device Manager:
    Enabled View - Show hidden devices, and then uninstalled every possible ADB, MTP and smartphone device, hidden or not.
  • Rebooted Windows.
  • Connected the phone again, Windows then needed a moment to set up MTP again automatically and prompted a success message afterwards.

If that doesn’t help, you should also try another USB-C cable and connect your phone through another USB-port on your computer.
