Accessing files through usb cable to windows but not working

Please help!
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:
