Over the past bunch of months of owning my OnePlus One, I’ve been playing around with it. But recently, I was struck with an issue, my phone would not interface with my computer in any way. So I was stuck moving files and stuff around using an FTP server on my phone.
At around the same time I noticed the problem, I had actually wiped all of my computers, and upgraded from Windows 7 Pro, to Windows 8.1 Pro N, not knowing it was that was the issue, I forged ahead onto other dumb things. Almost about to give up and give hell to OnePlus for whatever was happening, I gave Reddit a shot (was looking on XDA and OnePlus Forums for an answer).
Here is what I found: https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/2rnl2p/psa_if_your_oneplus_one_is_not_connecting_to_your/
It seems that any version of Windows that comes with N or KN will have issues due to it missing almost all media capabilities and software, which the OnePlus One needs.
