Really? Ever since Android devices ceased to be regular USB storage devices and switched to MTP, this has never worked well for me. MTP is incredibly slow.
MTP is so slow that when I have enough photos and videos on my phone, Windows will crap itself and stall out just trying to list the folder. It's functionally unusable and I don't know how I'd get those files off the phone if I didn't use literally anything else. If it was mass storage I could just rsync it over USB but it isn't so I can't.
I ended up using rclone on Windows with an rsync server running on the phone, I think sshd4a usually.
Pretty much any other: Connecting my phone to my computer as USB storage (when it was still possible), connecting a thumb drive to my phone, syncing files using Syncthing, using adb, …
