Forget USB connectivity and transfers to MMW. It is and always has been a mess!!! WIFI sync at first worked flawlessly and fast, none of the USB issues. Then in April ’22 could not sync from the app (NOTE: WIFI sync requires the $5.99 “Pro” version of the Android app). The main obstruction and fix for me seemed to be re-enabling “media streaming” in Windows (not even mentioned in the UPnP troubleshooting guide link below) or the higher-level “WIFI Sync doesn’t work” guide! Also some settings tweeks in MMW listed below:

(this page provides basically a connectivity test for UPnP functionality of MMW which is also required apparently for syncing. If you don't get past this step and have UPnP working NO WORKIE)
Key steps which fixed issue for me:
- Enable “media streaming” in Windows:
(Control Panel/Network and Internet/Network and Sharing Center/
Media streaming options/) to allow UPnP services between app and mm server.
- (Possibly unnecessary): disable all other devices in MMW except
your SD card's device you've already set-up
- Enable the “Allow...” radio box in the device’s summary tab
- Restart MMW if not PC and app
- MMW: Tools/Options/Library/Media Sharing/: double-click the enabled mm server, then...
- Enable radio button “Share automatically with all new devices"
Until you observe your various network UPnP devices populated under “Devices & Services” section of MMW left-side navigation panel (i.e. Sonos, HPI7-SSD, My Movies, etc.) you are not connected to the app and will have no joy!
