Connecting Kindle with PC via USB

Hello there,

I'm having problems connecting my Kindle PW (6th gen) with my PC (win 10). The Kindle is running Firmware 5.12.2.2. When connecting the device to the PC using a USB-A to micro-Usb cable the e-reader does not appear on the PC as a drive or as any device.

So far I have done:

• Switching out the cable and using different ports
• Restarting PC and e-reader
• Resetting the e-reader
• Search in device manager for any new device with no success

Is there anything I am missing, like a driver or an opt-in?

Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
