how to fix PC not detecting Android Phone through USB connection

When you connect your Android phone to the PC (both Internal and SD card) are meant to be detected together. But there are some cases where you connect Android phone to PC and you hear a USB connection sound and yet nothing is detected or displayed on the screen, this also happen to me when I connect Android phone to a PC for the first time even when the Android phone has been connected to the PC before, yet I still get this problem.

I checked under Device Manager and noticed that MTP had a warning icon (yellow triangle) on it meaning it had somehow malfunctioned. On right-clicking and selecting properties, I saw

To find a driver for this device, click Update Drive.

So I decided to find a lasting solution. Today I will show you how to fix MTP USB Device Driver not configured correctly.
