When I connect my Google Pixel 6 to my Windows 11 laptop via a USB cable, it only charges by default and does not allow me to transfer files without first enabling file transfers on the handheld, in USB preferences.
Unfortunately, every time I undock my laptop then redock, I need to reconfigure that setting, which constantly resets to "No data transfer". I am not alone in this situation, as this forum post (and another question ) shows, but this happens on a fully up-to-date Android 15 (and takes more than 5 s each time).
Is there no way to remember the value of "Use USB for" with my laptop? Note that I am not an Android developer and store potentially confidential data on the handheld, so granting an unsafe allow all as *Developer options* lets me configure (regardless of which computer is plugged) is not an option.
