I have a Pixel 2 running Android 10 which has developed a serious fault.
The phone will ring but there is nothing to swipe to answer the call. Everything else seems normal. I have not been able to find anything in the settings that might explain this behaviour and am, in desperation, considering a factory reset.
Before doing so I would like to copy any pictures or files to this computer running Fatdog64-810.
If I click on MTP Browser in the menu under Filesystem a dialog asks me to plug in the connecting cable then click OK. Doing so produces an empty folder
mtp_Pixel_2 in the /root directory without a green dot.It is as though the browser sees the phone but it is not mounted.
What else should I try?

Normally I would try removing the battery...on shutdown.
press the power button for over 30 seconds and then re-assemble it.
I had to do this a couple of days ago as my Moto E 4 showed up as Hotspotting,
Windows saw the wireless but would not connect...
even after rebooting both phone and PC.
Can't beat removing batteries in phones and laptops.
A desktop can have the AC plug removed and hold the Power button down as well.
Looks a little complicated on yours though.

Solved (sort of). I get the same results when connecting the phone to a Windows 10 box. Either there no pictures stored on the phone or there is a problem with the phone's filesystem.
A colleague at the local computer club ("Computer Pals for Seniors -the Hills") for other Sydney based Puppyites, was able to find a couple of settings that that fixed my phone so that is fixed too.
