windos 11 how do I transfer photos from Galaxy S23 to laptop? Its not workin anymore and I am not using the new photos program.

To transfer photos from your Galaxy S23 to your laptop using a USB cable, you may need to change the USB settings on your phone. Here’s how you can do that:

1. Connect your Galaxy S23 to your laptop using a USB cable.
2. Once connected, swipe down from the top of your phone's screen to access the notification panel.
3. Look for a notification that says something like "USB charging this device" or "USB for file transfer".
4. Tap on that notification, and you should see options for USB settings.
5. Select File Transfer or MTP (Media Transfer Protocol). This option allows you to transfer files, including photos and videos, between your phone and laptop.
6. After selecting this option, your laptop should recognize your phone, and you can access your photos through File Explorer.

If you still encounter issues, ensure that the USB cable is functioning properly and that your laptop has the necessary drivers installed for your Galaxy S23.
