If there are any developers among you, then you need to install the Samsung USB Drivers on the Windows computer before the Samsung Galaxy J2 Pro smartphone can connect to the computer with the USB cable and communicate through that USB connection.
There are also times when loads of people want to connect the Samsung Galaxy J2 Pro smartphone on the computer and just do simple tasks like transfer music and video files to and from the computer and the phone. The Windows operating system has to install the device drivers for these jobs too, but it does it automatically without you having to do anything. Windows is programmed to make use of the Windows Update center and download the drivers for the device that it thinks you have just connected to the computer with the USB cable.
When the Windows operating system is installing the device drivers, it usually works for doing jobs like transferring data from the phone such as pictures, videos and music files. However, when developers want to do things like flash files using the Odin flashing application it probably still does not work. Developers need to install the Samsung USB Drivers manually for the Odin flashing tool to work and then once they have the same drivers should continue to work for a long time. Moreover, anyone who is trying to transfer data but Windows is not able to download the USB drivers for the device on the computer can also install the same Samsung USB Drivers file and it allows for the communication between the smartphone and the computer.
The Windows PC is always programmed to search and download the right drivers for your smartphone by default unless that option has been disabled from the settings. By default it usually always on from the Device manager, but if you would like to take a look because you think someone might have changed the settings, you can do that also. The first thing you need to do is open the Control Panel and click on the View devices and printers. You find it available under the Hardware and Sound. Once there, right-click your device and select Device installation settings. If you can see that “Yes, do this automatically (recommended)” or the “Always install the best driver software from Windows Update” is turned on then, you know that it is set to work already automatically.
