Galaxy S5 won't connect to laptop (tried everything I could find) Alright so I'm sure this is something that people ask a lot, but mine seems to be some sort of super weird case of "heck you I don't wanna mate with your laptop."

My Galaxy just will not connect to my laptop no matter what I do. I'm starting to think maybe it's just an issue with my laptop but idk how it could be. 

The big things I've tried so far


Using Developer Mode to enable USB debugging.
Dialing *#0808# in order to select MTP
Connecting my phone to my laptop through Bluetooth


Some important things to note


When I pull down my phone's notification bar, there is no selection for Connect or whatever.
I have tried to restart my phone after making changes.
My computer doesn't recognize my phone as a bluetooth or connect device (but can pick up my boyfriend's phone as bluetooth)


I really don't know what to do. I just want to move photos onto my computer but nothing I'm finding online is helping at all. Is there any setting in my computer that I can change in order to fix this? I've tried doing every small and big method I can find online for the past month or so.

Thank you.
If it's not detecting your phone via usb , you should try changing the cable, try that
