PowerShot ELPH 190 IS won't connect to my computer

JonSamuels — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 13:55:06 GMT

Hello everyone, my name is Jon Samuels, and today, my ELPH 190 IS refuses to connect to my windows 11 computer to send my photos. Is there a way to get the photos off the camera without using the SD card? I don't have a reason to not just use the SD card, I'm just lazy.

Thanks, a kind Jon.

Welcome.

Diid it work "yesterday", meaning all of a sudden it stopped connecting?

Were there any changes or updates to your computer?

Hello, Mr. Hoffman, my name is Jon Samuels, and today I will be replying to you.

When I said "Today", what I meant to type was that I just started using the camera that day, which was because I found the camera in my closet that day. I did not update my computer, but it was the first time I tried connecting.

Sincerely, Jon Samuels, A Camera.

I couldn't find a manual for the 190, but did find one for the 180. It references some software, and there is a software download on the support site for the 180.

There is no corresponding software on the 190 site. Looks like removing the SD card will be required.
