iPhone freezes my Windows File explorer

I have noticed that previously I had issues with my iPhone - PC connection where phone no matter what I tried could not get connected or registered by PC.


Today it seeems something happened and PC noticed my iPhone, BUT once connected, it completely freezes my File explorer on Windows 11..


All devices and softwares are updated. MBO is new, windows is freshly installed maybe a month ago. I did try reinstalling drivers and didn't help.


However, I did found that Apple doesn't sees this as an issue since it had been mentioned in this post iPhone crashes windows explorer - Apple Community which is crazy to have the same issue with iPhone 16 later since 2009.


Apple doesn't seem to be bothered much about any issues at all.


Any kind of help would be great. Thank you!

iPhone 16, iOS 18
