Your iPad has an encrypted filesystem - that cannot be directly accessed from a PC over a USB-C connection.


If you wish to transfer files between your iPad and Windows PC over USB, you will need to install the Apple Devices App - or for older PCs, you will need to install iTunes for Windows.


Apple Devices App (Windows PC):

iTunes for Windows:

Download and use iTunes for Windows – Apple Support

Update to the latest version of iTunes – Apple Support


Have you considered using iCloud to facilitate file transfer between your PC and Apple devices? Your iCloud storage can be accessed from your PC using a web-browser:

You can also install iCloud for Windows - providing direct integration with your PC:
