Windows 10 + Android Nexus 4
My Android phone (Nexus 4) wasn't being recognised by Windows 10. Here is what I did to fix it. Probably not all the steps are necessary, but they worked!
On the phone, go to Settings > Storage > 3 dots in top right corner > USB computer connection > Camera (PTP).
On the PC, go to Start > Device manager, and "Nexus 4" should appear under "Portable devices". Right-click it, and click "Update driver software", then "Browse my computer for driver software" and "Let me pick from a list". Deselect "Show compatible hardware", find "LG Electronics, Ltd" on the left-hand box, and then "LGE Android Net MTP Device" in the right-hand box. Click next, and OK, and close.
On the phone, again go to Settings > Storage > 3 dots in top right corner > USB computer connection, but this time choose "Media device (MTP)".
It now works!

if at first you dont see 'portable device' on the list,then
click on 'view' in the tool bar. Next,
click on 'show hidden devices' from the drop down menu.
your device should now appear under portable devices
