The Cause of a Samsung Tablet That Isn’t Connecting to a PC

In most cases, a Samsung tablet not connecting to a PC is because of a permission settings issue on either the Samsung tablet or the PC. Both devices need to allow use of the tablet as a storage device on the PC. The tablet will not appear in Windows if this setting is not correct. A Samsung tablet might also fail to connect to a PC because of a problem with the cable or either port the device is connected to. A defective port, faulty adapter, or loosely connected cable could cause this issue.
