If you suddenly notice that your Windows PC no longer detects your Android phone's Internal storage then it just might be due to an MTP error. If such is the case, you'll find the device detected as unknown or with a yellow warning triangle. 

Steps to fix MTP Error


Follow the steps below to fix the MTP error in Windows


  1. Leave the affected device connected to the PC via USB cord

  2. Launch Device Manager and locate the faulty MTP item (in the example below, it is Tecno Phantom 6)

  3. Right-click the device and select Update Driver Software
