i tried many of the ways suggested in many forums, nothing worked. actually when i forst connected te Galaxy it worked for a few days, then it stopped. My company ha installed on my PC System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection; however it was there even when i was able to connect.  i tird also the ipad and i get the same error.

the solution offered to my previous request on the same issue by Rob Thomas596 strictly refers to Apple products and i can't use it for the Galaxy

Run command prompt as administrator and run the following command:

net localgroup Administrators local service /add

That is what fixed my problem after searching everywhere

    Hi,

    To address your concern, we would like to know the following:

    • Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers for your phone on your Windows computer?
    • Is this happening to other devices?
    • Have you checked if this is the only removable device that can't be read by your machine?

    Thanks.
