I desperately need this to work. Thanks to Samsungs’s selfish anti-user decision to remove external storage, camera is now useless because of no storage left. This seemed like the answer, but I’m blocked at the start. The Some Windows and Android devices can project to this PC when you allow them to, option is greyed out and unchangeable from Always Off (Recommended), Apparently in Microsoft’s also anti-user world recommended, really means enforced, because we know what’s best for you..
