My Verizon android (both the last one and the current one) downloaded an update and ever since then, when I plug it into my laptop, it "connects as an installer" and attempts and fails to load a driver of some sort.
The solution is to go into settings, and change it from "connect as an installer" to "connect as a media device", then it just pops right up on the laptop.
Unfortunately it don't remember this setting, must be changed very time.
Solution I use is Microsoft onedrive, with "camera roll" enabled.
As I take a picture on my phone, it is available on onedrive almost instantly, and on the laptop shortly after.
