computer runs on windows10. does the connecting cord to camera need replacing

It could be a USB cable problem and it's easy to test with another cable if you have one. If you need to buy another cable make sure that it's rated as a "data transfer" cable. Some of the lesser, "budget" USB cables may work OK for charging purposes but not so well, or at all, for data transfer.

Have you downloaded any Windows Updates recently?

nothing from windows downloaded. I purchased a data transfer device and it solved my probem
