    Hide/Remove "Apple Iphone" from Device and drives in ThisPC


    Hi,
    When i plug in my Iphone (USB cable, for charging) to my Windows 10 Version 20H2 (OS Build 19042.804) desktop, my Iphone shows up as a device named "Apple iPhone" under Deive and drives (see picture)

    How can I remove this ikon, so it dont shows up when i plug in my iphone for charging. I only need my phone plugged in for charging.

    Any idea ? Thanks in advance.

    Go to Device Manager and remove it. See if that works.

    So you want to plug it in for charging and not have it show up anywhere, right?

    Well is it possible to hide it, or move the icon to another folder (1) for example. I dont like it first in the devices list..
