Bear in mind that. since MTPdrive exists, it's almost certain that a
more universal solution also exists that the experienced may know about.

If you do know of a better solution, please do advise us so that your
knowledge increases the overall tribal knowledge of the group as a whole.

There _may_ be a freeware solution for Windows 10, if this pans out:

For your purpose, you're not looking for file *transfer*, but for file
*access* (open, read, write, close, etc.) or/and file-*system* access.

While I don't think I have the Windows 10 knowledge to make use of that
brand-new Intel capability described above, there _may_ be a freeware
MTPdrive alternative available for Windows yet...

But first inspection doesn't look promising yet on those suggestions.

Those indeed do not look promising. They seem totally unrelated (to
MTPdrive).

Good luck on your quest.
