I find it hard to believe I'm the only person with this issue. so I'm probably just doing something dumb, but here goes anyway...

I have a Windows11 box and an Android phone. If I stick a USB cable between the two then the phone filesystems show up on the PC in File Explorer, but *not* as a mount point. No mount point means no access for Cygwin processes (and there may be other hurdles too, that's as far as I got).

I am reasonably sure that in Windows10 it *was* a mount point, and I had no problems with access.

Is there any way to accomplish this?

There are some reddit posts talking about a new Microsoft app (Phone Link) but the first thing this wants is a Microsoft account, which I don't have and would rather not create unless I have to. Plus I don't know if this would work anyway.

Any help appreciated...

Oh! Side question: did the ability to search the mailing lists go away, or get moved somewhere I'm not intelligent enough to find? Or did I just dream it?

Jonathan
