Any idea how to force Nexus 5 to work on Windows? What USB driver should we use for the Nexus 5? I tried all kinds of tricks suggested on Internet including this topic: Windows could not find driver software for your device Then I select Update Driver Software in Device Manager for Nexus 5 > Browse My computer for driver software > provide path to the driver I downloaded from here :Ĭ:\Program Files\Android\usb_driver, check "Include subfolders" and click Next. In Device Manager I see Nexus 5 with exclamation mark icon in "Other devices". Next step I enable USB debugging in Developer options on the phone the phone shows notification "USB debugging connected", device disappears from Explorer and Windows tries to install a driver and fails. Nexus 5 with ADT (based on Eclipse) in Windows 7 圆4Īs I connect Nexus 5, it appears in Windows in Explorer, so I can transfer files to/from Nexus. My last try, was to install 'Media Feature Pack for Windows 10 N & KN' (it helped me when I wanted to connect my previous Nexus 5 on a Windows 8.1 laptop). I also had a call with Google Tech Support and they just told me that they don't have any solution for my problem, because I have already tried everything they are used to advice. The cable I use is OK because it works on my Windows 7 PC and I bought it on Google's Store. (I also know that by default, on my Marshmallow Nexus 5X, I have to change connection mode "USB charging" to "Transfer files (MTP)"). I also tried with the Google USB Drivers. I tried to activate the debugging mode (Android developer settings), tried to reboot, to change USB port. There is a yellow warning on my device, displayed in the device manager. This is not my first Nexus phone and I'm familiar with things related to a computer as a developer.īut I just can't succeed to make my Nexus phone recognized by the Win10 PC.Īt work, on my Windows 7 PC, my Nexus is recognized and I can transfer files.īut at home on my Windows 10 PC, drivers installed by Windows are not OK. I have got a Google Nexus 5X and I would like to connect it to my Windows 10 PC.
